It helps a lot when at least part of your income is in cash. Or, at the very least, you don't do direct deposit. Cash + hidey hole = my wife getting a new ring for our tenth anniversary. I know she WANTS it, but totally doesn't expect it. I've told her we can't afford it if she wants us to get a new house :evil:


yeah mines ALL direct deposit. i deal in NO cash. :cry:
and we have each other's account info. and im already getting the pressure . i'm planning on getting it done soon, as in this year, but how the fuck. in the navy, we could do allotments. i.e. direct deposit to a separate account that came straight from the government, so wives, child support collectors, etc. couldn't ever even see it.

You 'just' started a Roth IRA for retirement so each paycheck you are throwing $300 at it.

In 5 months, you have 3k.

Go shopping.
