My 40th birthday is less than a month away and I just know that DH is going to go overboard. I have no idea what he's planning, if anything yet, but he is the one in the family that puts things on the credit card and doesn't realize how long it takes to pay them off.

For his 40th last spring I did something big, well big for us anyway. I saved up for months and took him to the Poconos for a weekend to attend a Nascar race. He's been a fan for a few years and had never actually attended a race. He works so hard providing for all of us, so I wanted to do something that he would really remember. He is always very giving so I wanted to give back to him for once.

He really doesn't have the opportunity to save money since I do the budgeting and bill paying. So I know that any expenses are going to get charged to the CC.

I would like to come up with an idea for my 40th that will be fairly cheap but is also something that he'll think is special. Any ideas?
