wow Gail if you never had a fight about money you are sooo lucky that use to be all of what our fights were about. I have grown up and accepted what he has taught me since he is older and wiser. I don't make big purchases without him but when it comes to fabric and notions etc. I spend quite a bit and he doesn't care as long as I write it in the check reg. I use to be afraid to because I spent to much. I had to spend what we could afford.
