Update: He found his MAC card. And used it when there was house cash. He's not getting it at all.
Today, the electric had been turned off due to nonpayment.(apparently the $100 last week against a $1,000 bill was too paltry). My friend became a white knight on a black steed and bailed me out. Spouse blamed me for the fiasco, saying I don't make enough,yadayada.....wasn't aware that our little savings book didn't have $1,000 in it...I told him he needs to stop shopping with the debit card!!! If there's $40 on the table, there's no reason to go spending $40 with the card. There's no reason to spend $40 in the first place....he then commented that the phone bill is going to be next...no, that's been paid.
We ditched cable in favor of Dish Network, saving us about $20 a month and getting more channels, better service, etc. I changed the cellphone service plan to include text messaging so the daughter doesn't run up $50 or so in charges like she's done. All in all, the changes to services will save us about $60 a month or more, added to the $120 a month saved in lunch money.
I asked for more hours-got 10 extra this week, but I will continue to look for another job.
And quitting the cigs cold turkey is getting closer to reality....
