My wife and I agreed
most of our decisions to be made must be agreed to both of us. Every plans and
problems in the house must be shared within the family. Even with it regards to
our finance, wife and I agreed things before buying or spending money. She used
to make the budgeting for our food but on every major expenses, we will see
things out that both of us will agree upon the expenses.
My wife and I do usually
the buying of those inexpensive things but quality wise. We do usually buy those things that are
important to our daily lives and the most needed thing every day. There are some of our friends that are having
some financial problems because of their partners that are having some
excessive shopping for personal things like shoes, bags, cosmetics and
jewelries.
Buying something for
yourself is not bad as long as you have extra money to spend. Buying expensive shoes,
bags and jewelries is not our lifestyle.
My wife’s cousin who uses to work as flight stewardess for a long time
and she usually gave her gifts. There
was one time that she gave us expensive perfumes, shoes, accessories and some surprises inside the shopping bags. My wife was very happy receiving those gifts for
she knew that my wife would really appreciate what she gave.
In our lives, we all
have choices to make. Whatever lifestyle you may be choosing, it is good to
live life to the fullest. Being happy and contented is a choice not a command. We
prefer to live in a simple, happy and contented lifestyle.
