Budgeting - Spousal Support Imperative
Cripes! I thought I went over the Christmas spending budget with my wife and thought we had agreed upon a set limit for this year's spending.
Seems my words hit an invisible brick wall somewhere between my mouth and her ears.
I just checked my online bank statements and over the last few days there seems to have been a "there's a super-sale, mega, uncontrolled spending spree".
I was sure I had made it clear on what was reasonable spending this holiday season but I guess, when looking back, I didn't really have her full attention.
Next "don't spend anymore money" rant with my wife, I will have to make sure it is at a time when there are no distractions. I will make sure to snap her out of whatever state she happens to be in and have her repeat back to me everything I said.
And I won't stop there, I am going to make her write down everything I said too.
Yeah, I do well with my business but lessons learned from the past:
Money is easy come, easy go.
I also know that January can be a slow time in my business and I really just want to focus on growing my business and net worth rather than constantly paying off more and bigger stuff.
Life ain't about stuff!
