When we first got married my husbands nickname was taxi. He would literally wait for 10 mins to catch a taxi to go two blocks down the road. Would have been quicker to walk and saved $5. He had the money in his pocket and it was burning a hole fast. $5, $10, $20 etc would fall through it faster than in went in. The result of which was a humungous credit card debt.
Me on the other hand had trouble spending money on anything. Never having any when I did I didn't want to let it go.
15 years later we have met in the middle. Our house is no "McMansion" (not sure if you use that term or not). It is small and cosy but it does us. One car. No credit card debt. We eat out and have family weekends away. Thankfully hubby and I think exactly like snoopy. Making memories is more important to us than the car we drive or the clothes we wear. We just got back from a few days up the coast. Memories of which will last a life.
