So, I don't know. I love looking at stuff, but I guess I just don't feel the need to bring it home with me most of the time :) Funny post :)

I’ve never actually been a big impulse shopper, not even at the grocery store. So, I don’t know. I love looking at stuff, but I guess I just don’t feel the need to bring it home with me most of the time :)

Even when it's hard. Throw some frustration and tension into the mix and I think you’ve got it right. :) It’s worth it though. Even when it’s hard.

Right now I want to pay off our house in less than 8 more years (before we're 35). Yesterday I actually thought about this article and that goal and put back the 72 oz of Raisinets I had in my basket at Sam's (plus I didn't want to call my hubby). I only bought the Raisin Bran and medicine that was on the list and smiled when I realized I was talking myself out of the Raisinets OUT LOUD...*hahaha* Marriage seems to be a conglomeration of accountability, compromise, respect, humor, and teamwork…it’s alot of work, but it’s worth it, right? :-)

I wish I had a bigger dislike of using my cell phone in public. @Ken AND @Crystal: Without the accountability piece, I don't think we'd have come as far as we have. We're responsible to each other, so I think it's important that we act like it. :) @Crystal: That’s great. I wish I had a bigger dislike of using my cell phone in public.

Just like with AA you need someone who will tell you the truth...that's a want, not a need. I especially love the accountability strategy.

We flog the wallet demon by limiting our trips to the store and following a list...like really following it. We are not allowed to put anything in the cart that isn't on the list until we call our spouse to verify its actual need...since we both hate cell phones in public, we really stick to our lists. :-) Your sense of humor is awesome!
