Feeling guilty about not wanting to go out

[JCShutout]

++ to some degree, but I just go to less bars and more movies, museums, plays etc. (I'm the mooch. She pays! )

You never pay???

Doc would drop you like a bad habit!

lol. Yes I pay sometimes, but she makes like $10,000/year more than me. She offered to pay for most things because she has the ability to spend so much more, and wants to spend more than I'm able.

I tell her my entertainment budget for the month ($80), and that doesn't cover much, (and I do go out with friends too) so if she wants to do more expensive things with me, I'm not going $100s more into debt. That's just not smart. She likes to eat out a lot. That costs $$$. I always offer to cook, she usually declines. I don't blame her. I'm a better cook than the average batchelor, but that's not saying much.

I'm also down to $120/month for food. So if she wants me to cook anything fancy, or anything with a lot of meat, I can't afford it.

I usually start to feel bad and offer to pay for something, and SHE says no.

Tsk tsk. Bad JC. Moochin' off the lady. [-X

Why? Its 2008.

Well...100 years ago we had no welfare program. It's 2008 and now we do. I'm not gonna quit my job though.

Well...100 years ago we had no credit cards. It's 2008 and now we do. I'm not gonna go into major debt though.

BTW with my 2nd job starting up, I'm up to 45-50 hours of work/week.

You just made my point for me I think. Just because mooching is more acceptable now, doesn't mean I'd be throwing these around because of it --->

What your work hours have to do with it, I'm not sure. I work around 50 hours a week too.

Good lord man. What does that even get you?

26 bottles of Pinot Evil at Shop N Save....

Well that is good value. I have to say I'd be hard pressed to drink 26 bottles of wine in a month.
