Yves,
I read somewhere else in here your husband just got back from deployment. Keeping spending low must be difficult at the moment. I have not met one single person that comes back from any deployment and does not have a hole in their pocket for the first couple weeks. Perhaps its easier for married folks, I dunno. After deployment spending is like an early Christmas for a local economy.
