[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am wondering whether it is possible to get through a day without spending on anything that is not necessary.  So, apart from spending a metro fare to and from work (or gas) is it possible to spend nothing else?  I am asking because in trying to get a handle on the family budget, after the mortgage, the biggest category of expenditures falls into "Other" - about $3,000 per month.  About half of that includes discretionary expenditures made for: travel, eating out, "general merchandise (wife's little shopping trips)" and gas for her car (I take metro, she is SAHM).  I feel a bit frustrated sometimes b/c I feel that I am doing my best to be frugal, and almost every day DW seems to drop $50 - $100 on anything ranging from groceries, to clothing to the aformentioned "general merchandise."  I am being unreasonable thinking she can get through a day without spending something? [/quote]

Haven't you posted before? Your accounting has always seemed odd to me. It is like my DH who does not want to pay for a lawn service. Its been 20 years since you mowed a lawn, DH. How do you think it get mowed?[/quote]
