I am a better capitalist than Stephanie. When we were together we never seemed to have any savings. Some of that can be attributed to years on disability payments where every dollar saved was a dollar they took out of the next check. To the best of my knowledge I am not under that restriction any longer. But she still has “disability thinking.” She spends money as soon as she gets it. I like it to add up, and am doing a good job setting a little aside for a rainy day or a big emergency. At least emergencies that money can fix. Money can’t fix our relationship, but since the marriage is doomed anyway I’d rather not be broke on top of it. I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
