We went to a nice restaurant with another couple. I have not been out to a nice restaurant in a dogs age. I ordered a bottle of merlot. I went ot hell in a hand basket and dropped more money than I probably should have. Well, I did have money put aside!
I had the salmon and it was awesome! I had raspberry sorbet for desert. The meal took place over three hours and I was relaxed and enjoyed the hell out of it! While it was a gift for DW's birthday it was good for me to get out and enjoy. Not much damage to budget as I had saved up. Next week I shall be purchasing a leather jacket for her.
I bought myself coffee and a bagel today. I have to get back on the no-spend band wagon.
I also need to read other folks blogs
as they so kindly read and respond to mine. I need to make time in order to do this. I have to say that I have learned so very much from folks here!
I am feeling okay mentally today and physically I am not feeling too bad!
So on we go to financial freedom!
Wife's Birthday!

It felt positively decadent. I think I'll save up and do this again in a few months.
The counselor suggested that I go on more "dates" with my wife and open up the lines of communication. The counselor suggested that coffee at the Dunkin Donuts could be the date or just a walk in the park. The idea is to spend time together that is just for "us".
I guess problems can only be worked out by people who are communicating. Heck, if there is no communication or trust in a marriage
then you have a big problem. If we are honest with each other and talk regularly then maybe these spending splurges will be a thing of the past.
I'd like to thank you all for your support and allowing me the privelege of your advice and company here! You folks are really wonderful and have helped me out a great deal! THANK YOU ALL!!!!

Who would have thought date nights are so important for the married folk?
Glad to hear things are a bit better for you, Paul.
