I love getting new things! I try not to buy new things very often because I know that I really do not need anything, but every once in awhile, my husband tells me to go and buy something that I have wanted for awhile.
- My husband is not super controling or anything.
I just asked him to restrain me from buying things all of the time. If I were left to myself, I would by myself into a whole lot of debt. Needless to say, I am definitely the spender in our relationship, but I am so thankful that my husband understands that and is willing to help me cut down on my spending but still lets me enjoy buying new things every once in awhile. This past month was one of my spending months, and I had been wanting an electric fireplace for some time. We have a furnace that heats the house just fine, but I really love the ambiance that a fireplace brings. Some friends of mine owned a propane fireplace, and I visited their house one time. The smell of the propane was overwhelming, and although the fireplace looked nice, it was not for me. I just could not stand the strong smell of the propane. I told my husband that if we were to ever get a fireplace it would be an electric one so that I did not have to deal with the smell. I finally got my electric fireplace last month, and I cannot tell you how much I love it! It puts off a lot of heat, and makes our home feel even more cozy.
