This weekend is the bachelorette/bachelor party for wedding number one. My husband is heading to Lake Havasu with the guys and we ladies are opting for a weekend on the town.
My husband did an odd job fixing a sink and earned a crisp one hundred dollar bill. We decided to split the cash and use it this weekend. A ‘fair’ split would have been closer to 80 for him and 20 for me but he smiled and said, ‘Have fun’ while handing me a fifty (And that ladies…. is one of the millions of reasons why I love my man).
So, I’ve got to survive this weekend on $50…
$35 of which goes to a shared hotel with the bride to be.
It’s like going to the Cheesecake Factory and limiting yourself to 25 calories.
Should be interesting.

That is hilarious! What a guy! By the way, I LOVE your Cheesecake Factory analogy. So true!

Good luck. We are a family of five, and $50 is a lunch for us.

It costs 25 calories just to enter Cheesecake Factory.

Do the others know you are on a severe financial diet? I find it helps to get that established.

Oh boy, can I relate. We have $30 to last a family of four until Monday. Makes you become creative, for sure.
My hubby is just like yours. He did a side job recently, and handed me $100 out of it to get my hair done. I’ll keep him.
Have a great time this weekend! I’m sure it will work out.
