there are a few more things to husband math.
Well, that’s incorrect.
agree to disagree on that one.Well, that’s incorrect.
North Dakota is not in Canada.
I've been guilty of that. In the end, you do save money and end up with some new tools, so it's a win/win. The multiple trips to Lowes sucks though because it's a bit of a hike for me.I feel personally attacked by this one…
also, and an extension of #1: if a fur coat is on sale for $5000, and is regularly $7500, then buy it and save $2500.I've been guilty of that.

Also, where is she "going out" that only costs $20? I guess maybe she's counting on guys buying her drinks all night.also, and an extension of #1: if a fur coat is on sale for $5000, and is regularly $7500, then buy it and save $2500.
When I was single, I went to bars with my brother and his first wife. They would split up, so that she could work guys for drinks. They could both drink well on what she could hustle. I’d rate her looks 6 out of 10, but her talking skills, 10 out of 10.Also, where is she "going out" that only costs $20? I guess maybe she's counting on guys buying her drinks all night.

$85 in the wallet.Jeezus... that last one... My wife always complains about "never having any cash"... "I gave you $60 last week..." (not to mention ATMs are everywhere... just STOP USING CASH to pay for your gas/starbucks/whatever and you'll have emergency cash in your wallet when you need it.
I always carry at least $200 cash in my wallet just for the odd fucking "machines are down" or tow truck or whatever... if I have money from a gig, it can sometimes be in my wallet for a month. I just save it.
I fight this battle with my adult children as well. They assume they can always pay with card....until they can't. There have been multiple occasions where I've had to pick up the tab (e.g. ice cream, beer, etc) because the venue is cash-only.Jeezus... that last one...

Edit: Case in point… we went to New Orleans for New Years. I took a grand in cash and used a bit at a bar and at a restaurant where I didn’t want to wait in the crowd to sign a card receipt. 3 weeks later and I still have 800 that I haven’t touched so now I don’t hve to go to the bank before going to NAMM. It’s not that difficult to decide when to use cash and when to save it for emergency!!!
