Finances and the ec...Well, consider youself lucky. Finances and the economy have had a direct impact on domestic violence. Over the last few years the intensity of violence we see at work has definitely gotten worse.<br /><br />I haven't ever been married, but I've been observing married couples for a long time. I agree with Alex - when there's a financial fuck up - I know it's mine and mine alone. I also LOVE the fact that the only person I have to account to for how I spend my money is possibly the landlord.<br /><br />I remember very near the time McStupid and I split, I went out and bought an outfit that was on the clearance rack at Pennys. McStupid got indignant about it saying that I didn't need it, why did I buy it, I was bad with money, and when we got married I should just give my checks to him. I told him he should really not ever hold his breath and wait for that to ever happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-892384571002999746.post-65665363513224341072010-03-31T00:51:18.491-04:002010-03-31T00:51:18.491-04:00i have a friend that's completely dumb when it...i have a friend that's completely dumb when it comes to money. I keep telling her over AND OVER that when there's "extra" money in your account, it isn't yours and you can't get happy and go shopping. that means that someone has yet to cash a check, or you used or card and the store hasn't put it through yet. Therefore, if you spend the "extra," you're going to be a theif. I just don't understand how she can't understand this fact. Some people need bad things to happen to them because of finances before they finally learn. <br /><br />we also live off cash. I spend $60 at the grocery store a week and $30 for daycare (so i can have a day to run errands) and anything left after that is for surprises like when my shoes broke this week or copay for the Dr. We knew that me not working meant a strict budget, and i don't mind it because i get to be with my daughter, but i do miss the days of eating out often and buying things not previously owned. This same person from above is about to go to thailand for 30 days on a dream vacation and doesn't understand why i'm pissed off that she owes me $3,000 but gets to spend $5,000 on a vacation. She went to buy shoes today and was shocked that I wasn't going to buy shoes too. HELLO! YOU OWE ME $3,000 and you're going on a $5,000 trip and you wonder why I can't just go and buy shoes whenever I want? I really think this is going to end our friendship completely. I understand she's had a rough year, but not even understanding how her bad year has fucked other people over just pisses me off. I don't think she even feels bad that she's fucked me over. irresponsible people suck, and Alex is right, at least when I mess up, I admit it and really mean it when I say sorry and try to fix it ASAP. Then again, I doubt Alex is taking a $5,000 trip instead of paying her bills.<br /><br />BTW doreen, have you heard of a veggie co-op? I thought of doing it since we eat a small fortune in fresh veg and fruits every week. About $40 of my grocery bill each week is produce. You pay them a specific set price each month and then you go to the farmer's market every week or the farm and they put together a large box of fresh produce (usually organic) and you take it. the veggies are out-of-this world and it ends up a big cheaper than at the grocery store.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204820495174268693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-892384571002999746.post-71230103304075289052010-03-30T20:58:34.008-04:002010-03-30T20:58:34.008-04:00vitamin b6 is great for pms. i have been using it ...vitamin b6 is great for pms. i have been using it for years and it saved many people from being murdered.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14854010264712131706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-892384571002999746.post-8036426140936780902010-03-30T10:26:39.213-04:002010-03-30T10:26:39.213-04:00that should have said fuck up not fuck :Dthat should have said fuck up not fuck :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-892384571002999746.post-58959418492703359852010-03-30T02:21:31.287-04:002010-03-30T02:21:31.287-04:00I live on cash and dont spend what i dont have.I ...I live on cash and dont spend what i dont have.I pay my bills by direct debit.Ive worried far less about money since I dont have a husband than I did in the 10 years I was married at least when theres a fuck now I know it's mine<br />Alex <br />Ps have you tried vitamin b6 for the PMS ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
