don’t even try to out-nerd me …

I spent 5 times as much money on computers & electronics last year than I did on personal care.

The husband and I had our quarterly* money conference last week, so I printed out our spending habits, using Quicken’s handy report-maker.

To be fair, the husband and I COMBINED spent 5 times as much money on computers & electronics than on personal care.  If you pull us apart, though, I think I still come in 4 to 1. 

So the laptop, camera, tv, software and various computer bits heavily outweigh my visits to the salon, shampoo purchases (I recently upgraded from Suave to that Australian stuff!), and make-up purchases (in the last 12 months: 1 bottle of generic-red nail polish).   

 I think you know what that means:  time for me to pick up the pace on my lady spending! 

*Our goal is ‘quarterly.’  We’ve been married 4 years …. and have had 2 or 3 ….
