I figure as long as all the bills are paid, savings is paid, we have groceries, gas in the car etc.....it's not a problem. DH has his interests, I have mine. We both get an "allowance" to spend as we wish, but often use other money to buy stuff. We're both careful though. I have scored huge fabric deals on Craigslist, and really have all the rulers & other stuff from early on......and I'm HAPPY. which makes DH HAPPY. Life's too short.
