I used to tell my wife “You are going to “Save” us right into the poor house!”.
But she was spending her own money - often on me - so I really didn’t care too much.
It was mostly a joke because she would come to me trying to justify her purchases - as if I cared. So I acted like I cared that she “saved” money on this or on that - and “only” spent $500 - or that she just got $200 for old clothes she sold on consignment.
But I could tell how much she was pleased (like a gambler) by the fiction that she “saved” something - got a real big score - BWANA BIG SHOPPER bring back BOO COUP big SALE - tribe feast well tonight!
Maybe my devil may care attitude was brought about somewhat by the fact that (not only was it her own money) she would put on a “fashion show” of the new clothes she bought - or my favorite - new shoes - because she would model those wearing ONLY the shoes!
Good times!
Nice. How do I suggest that one to my wife without sounding like I've been hanging out on some creepy pervo website?
