<Actually, my wife is pretty good about not overspending. > Yes, my wife is pretty good about it, too. On the whole, she doesn't spend too much. Not a recreational shopper at all. But when she does shop, she won't go to Nordstrom Rack, it's gotta be Nordstrom's proper. I just come from a long line of very conservative spenders. I was raised on a very tight budget (like I wondered if we'd have milk for our breakfast cereal), so it seems a bit lavish at times. If I had my old engineering salary, it would be no big deal at all. If the bear will go ahead and cooperate, it might become a non-issue again.
