Not to sound rude, but wow, sounds like a pair of 16 year old newlyweds. I'm an ugly single guy, so take it for what it's worth. Anyway, I'd just sit down with her and explain that purchasing something that very moment is just p*ssing your money away. How many times have you spent something at the spur of the moment and been dissatisfied with your purchase a week or month later thinking to yourself, how the hell did I get that and why? It's better to think a month down the road that live for the moment. The way I personally like to spend, is I just save endlessly, and spend money on a shirt of whatever when exam times roll around or another stressful situation rolls around, to have something positive to think about *ahhhh shirt*. Spending little here, little there is a killer of the pocket. Allowances don't make sense either, because it's itching to spend but just withholding it for a week. I guess the best way to think about something before buying it, is can I use this 1 year from now?
