Quote From: likeikeHe seems a bit clueless. She needs to take him shopping to see what things really cost. My poor husband thought the only way to save was to buy generic. He was shocked the first time I sent him to the store with coupons and a specific list of items and brands. He came home with generic items. I went over the receipt and showed him the sales circular and coupons; he was surprised how much we could have saved by purchasing items on special combined with double coupons.
I have found that clearance racks at Kohls, Target, Wal-Mart (and even a few major department stores) have better deals than Goodwill. My husband had no idea what clothes or kids shoes cost until I took him shopping. Now he appreciates a good deal when I find one.
They seem like nice folks, I hope they work it out.
Carlena's attitude causes me to remember some years ago when a 30-ish-year-old woman in Washington, D.C. was killed by an 18-year-old who wanted her Mercedes.
When asked why he killed her and stole her car, his answer was that he had graduated from high school now and "I deserved it." He gave no thought to the fact that the woman had invested her time and money to purchase the vehicle.
He ended up with what he "deserved" - a sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
