Except don’t do that now. Stay home and help control the spread of Covid

Walk or bike to the mall and don’t take your wallet or if it’s not close enough to walk then drive there only carrying your driver’s license and not your whole wallet with your money or your credit cards. This way you really are going to the mall just to hang out since you don’t have your money or your credit cards with you so even if you wanted to buy something you can’t.

He gives me $250.00 a month for bills, but he spends $3,250.00 a month at the bars playing pool. I wouldnt mind if he went out once a month or even once a week, but he leave the house at 7pm and gets home at 1am, seven nights a week. I started working extra hours at my job, to pay bills. He spends every pay check on himself. He had been out of work for 4 years, and just started this job 5 months ago, I was so excited to have 2 incomes, but I am still in the same place I was before. I have never spent $3,250.00 on myself for anything, in my whole life. I am in tears, that he spends that much on himself each month. I have no idea how to stop this. I am home alone every night in tears and a nervous wreck with all the bills coming in. I feel like i’m going to have a nervous break down.

I just stare at a jar of cash that I got selling stuff on Craigslist this week.

Thanks Kim! And congrats on being so financially smart over the years :) I was anything BUT in college!

Nice! Haven’t played kickball in years…. such a great social activity :) (And love the idea of renting out one of your own rooms in your house!! No idea how I can convince my wife of the same, but I’d be all about it!)

If you’re super busy not only do you not have time to spend money, you also don’t have the energy to! Haha. When it’s crazy busy in my life on my downtime I just want to relax at home and do nothing. Too tired to spend…

I’m between finishing school for the year and starting an internship in a few weeks, so I have a ton of free time right now. It’s so tempting to spend money to fill the time…and I confess, I’ve succumbed a few times. I need more productive things to do!

It made me understand my husband a little better. (ha ha). I tell him I sometimes think I missed out because I never did those “early free years” things. And honestly, when he tells me the stories they sound like such fun. But he paid for it in terms of credit card debt. I have never (with a big N) liked debt. i remember I got my first store card because it would have been my ticket to buying the to die for designer tote bag all of my college friends had (and I HAD to have). I went to the store, picked up the bag, looked at the price tag, started calculating how much I would end up paying for the bag if I made only the minimum payment each month (which is what I would have been able to afford), and promptly put the bag back. LOL. I couldn’t figure out how my friends afforded it. I didn’t ask either. I just assumed they had money. It would be really interesting to know the answer to that question. But that’s not the point of your post. It’s Father’s Day on Sunday so it won’t be a no spend weekend, but it will be a weekend well spent. Enjoy your Father’s Day too!
