[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spent $23 in Ikea today. $10 for a down pillow, had to have it.
DH (we have common-law marriage and keep money and expenses separate) filled my car tank and paid for it. He uses my car more often than I use his. Cost him $30 to fill it up. I think I'm +$7 for now.[/quote]

Hmmm... Are you trying to participate in the Buy Nothing January Challenge?   If so... what did you buy at Ikea besides the down pillow that you determined was a necessity?   And why was the pillow a necessity?

I'm not questioning why you bought the pillow, anyone can buy anything they want, fine with me.   But you are posting on the "Buy Nothing" thread... so how was spending $23 "buying nothing"?  Did you try any other options first?   Any alternatives to buying what you bought?

As for your common law husband filling "your" gas tank -- that was really nice of him!  But, if he is using your car, isn't he just paying for "his" own gas by filling it up?  You seem to be counting the $30 tank as "income" which offsets your $23 Ikea expense.   (Will he get to share your pillow??)[/quote]
