DD?

Did the girl who only gave her husband $7 to buy cigarettes for the next week, seriously delete?  There weren't even bad things said.

Please people, do not delete your posts.  There could be someone else who is in the same situation, and the responses to your post can help others.

    She was stating how she budgeted $100 for her DH for spending money for the week, and his check was smaller than she planned so he only had $7 to spend. He smokes, so she knew this wouldn't be enough, and was asking how to cut back in order to get by and not take from the grocery and gas budget.

    She also stated how his hours got cut at work, so they had been pulling from their savings in order to get by. Then they had some unexpected repairs that put them into the red again.

    A few posters had recommended she sit down with him and go over the budget, and that is why it is so important to have an emergency fund. Then they told her to post her budget, and we could take a look and see where cuts can be made so they aren't living paycheck to paycheck.  Guess she didn't like it.

    Sounds like reasonable advice to me. Maybe her H got mad that she asked internet strangers?

    Thanks for the recap! :)
