What the!!??

So we are within a couple years of retiring and my wife is doing a budget.    When I buy stuff online she wants me to enter into a spreadsheet.    She’s putting a section in for my fishing purchases.   So I’m going to the bank to buy some “visa gift cards”😂.

Buy a lot of fishing stuff so that the "budget" will have a high dollar amount for fishing stuff.  Then when you are retired you can still buy a lot of stuff, but keep it a bit under the budget.  You will then be able to claim that it is no problem as you are "under" the budget.

You two need separate bank accounts and credit cards and mailing addresses.  Just trying to help.

Ha!  If I could match Sugarbritches' random expenditures with fishing gear purchases I could open up a tackle shop.   

That gal spends money like it's going out of style.  I dare her to EVER give me that "You bought WHAT?" line of BS. 🙄

Just buy what you need or want.

It all equals out over time.

The key to retirement is... don't worry about a budget.

You both worked all your lives, and I am sure you are financially comfortable and have a good financial planner, so just enjoy.

She’s never made one comment about what I spend.  Including my golf gambling.   Heck I’m not sure I want to see how much I spend on fishing😂
