Hubby went to the store and spent $1750 after tax on computer parts and is building a new super computer. Ugh. Oh well, it's been 10 years since he asked for anything, so I guess he was overdue!
I had already transferred his bonus to savings, but our insulation rebate check for $900 came in the mail yesterday. (Bummed. Had planned to use it to pay down the car loan). I guess I'll use that to cover some of the cost of the computer, and then I'll try to just skimp until next payday and hope I can pay the rest out of pocket.
I don't want to dip into savings. Can you tell?
He wasn't kidding.

I have heard and agree with the 10% rule too. I do get the need to save, pay down debts, etc. But speaking for ONLY myself, I work hard for my money and I deserve to reward myself now and then.
