Let me try to make this short. Read all the way through before you think I'm awful!
My DH has been on my case lately about money. I have banned myself and have been really good, but, yes, I spend money on groceries, just bought summer clothes for the kids, and went to the eye doctor. And I pay the bills. Sure, it looks like I spend the money. He's honestly just a nervous wreck about having money when we retire (35 years from now!) so he can be nit-picky about everything. Let me add that I do have a job (and shouldn't I be able to spend some of my paycheck without "answering" for it?), that he always freaks about money no matter what it's spent on, and that we make a good sum and have no problem paying bills and saving.
Now, I had my eye on a bag, but wasn't buying because of that reason and because I wanted to wait until I had the cash in hand. Now, said bag is off the Coach website and not at my local boutique and they said the chances of them being able to get one for me are slim and none. However, I did find the bag online somewhere else. So, do I just give up and let it go and hope it pops up on ebay a few months from now, or do I order and have him FREAK when the box is delivered via UPS?
I thought about having it delivered to work, but I'm a teacher and school ends Monday after next....and that is really sneaky, too.
Opinions? Don't beat me up too harshly!
