Difficult to impossible

Write about your approach to budgeting.

To be honest I think I’m pretty good at budgeting as long as I don’t have my wife beside me when I’m making a decision on how to budget.

Bless her she seems to be one of this group of people that sees the word “Shop” and then she’s off.

And if the shop mode is in full swing then all thoughts of budgeting are out the window.

It’s the same with home improvements, I’m the practical one who will size a job up, get it planned and priced and she will come in at the last moment and add her requests and all of a sudden a perfectly decent price will now double because she’s probably added some unnecessary upgrades that weren’t really needed.

It’s different but you become used to it. I’m absolutely sure that in a previous life she was a lady of the manor, however I am not unfortunately on the earnings of a lord.

So I am quite good at budgeting, however nine times out of ten I don’t bother as it’s a pretty impossible task.

Have a lovely day..
