Per ProudLao's "buying stuff" point, we did see an uptick in our credit account

..spending in the last couple of months  .

Normally our average monthly expenditures is about $6-7k with the mortgages, and daycare being the biggest monthly bills but we've added a few bigger ticket item purchases recently such as the washer and dryer, robotic pool cleaner, etc. 

I'm just glad my wife is the financial manager of our household..bec ause it could take a little bit of time to do checks and balance stuff.. :

Someone has to control your spending habits lol

Now she's talking about replacing the dishwasher for something more energy efficient..

It's for the team so it's all good..

We should go back to our normal $6-7k monthly expenditure this month unless there's a curve ball out from left field..

I on the other hand would only buy what I absolutely need for the tasks at hand.

I buy mostly "need" things but I also buy "want" things from time to time too as life is short, gotta live it to the fullest.
