Proof of my happy purchasing below.
Marriage is teamwork and a partnership. All the years the kids were young we pinched every penny, and most of the fabric I bought was with a Joanne's card from having a credit card from there. We paid it off every month, of course, but it was a way to have this hobby and not spend too much. Now, years later, we're settled into secure employment and there's no debt from all that penny pinching, so I am able to purchase what I'd like. Do I buy more than I need? Yes. But, it's a joy in my life and hubby is happy I'm happy. Maybe he's just relieved I'm not into diamonds/jewelry/make-up. Jeepers--just think what we're saving! :lol:
