[vash]

i dont know what happened? i dont know if i make little money, or my purchases are huge. i have all but abandoned my credit cards for big ticket items. i use them for gas, etc..monthy paid off items. i still charge things, but not without the cash saved up.

if i had to point out a silver lining to this economy, and my wife being laid off..i would have to say: it was a huge wake up call, as far as my personal finances go. i definately have have a very clear line between my needs and wants. i used to bump heads with my wife about buying things. she has always been the saver, and me..the spender. we are much closer in the middle now..ok more on her side. we fight ZERO times about money, now.

i looked into my "mad" money box..and i have stored up a wad of cash..all of it, off my wifes radar. hell, i had to save $$ to pay for the upcoming new mexico hunt draw. hmmm...glock or new compound bow?

i wonder if/when this economy bounces back..will i stay the course, with my new spending habits.? we even have a fake car payment. $$ goes into a separate account for the next car. weird. who am i?
