Roses are red and budgets are great…

A few weeks ago I have decided to buy some flowers for my lifelong girlfriend (AKA wife J) and during my lunch I rushed to the other side of the town, ran into VONS (grocery store), bought a dozen of Red Roses and delivered them to Tanya’s work.
Of course she was pleasantly surprised, of course I was showered with kisses and hugs, of course she told me how much she appreciated the flowers and then…. I got reaffirmed that Tanya and I are on the same “financial page” and we are both focused on our goal of getting out of debt when she asked me this question.
-          Wait a minute… Where did you get the money? What budget line does this purchase belong to?
I had to laugh! We both laughed! Even during the time of surprise and show of affection, budget was on our mind! So I explained that this is from the extra money I earned from ebay sales (something I do on the regular basis to create additional stream of income).
I love my girlfriend!!!
