My wife and I recently have had some "spirited" discussions about spending. We were short about $2000 one month and she made a comment about me going out to lunch too much. I seriously doubted that me spending $20-$30/week on fast food could be a contributing factor to our deficit. Well, as can be expected, we played the blame game for a couple of days and things kid of subsided. She is in charge of the finances. She is a stay at home mom so I take it personally when there is not enough money...and I make a lot at my current job, at least enough for us to live comfortably. We did out our numbers and found that about $800 a month goes to retirement savings for us and college savings for the kids. We just have to stop buying things that catch our eye.
