I tend to avoid going out with the guys as much as I used to because of the financial consequences. I'm allowed to go play a round of golf or go to the bar, so long as my wife knows where I am. But the unwritten rule is the financial retribution that she can get on me. If I spend $100 golfing...she'll spend $150 on something she didn't need that will just take up more room in our place that I'll have to move some day. So now I see that round of golf with drinks costing me $250....and it's just not worth it. When your'e a poor person who's retirement is doomed like me. You shouldn't ever buy anything or enjoy anything in life. You should just work like a slave and try to save every last dollar you can.
