My wife is really buckling down and tightening up the budget for us this year! She has always been a pretty stingy person, but it’s gotten a lot worse over the past year.
I think it’s because of all of the shutdowns that happened around here because of Covid last year. She was nervous that we might lose our jobs and our income because of the shutdowns and so she really started to tighten up the purse strings lately. She doesn’t want to let me purchase hardly anything at all, and it’s getting old, if you ask me. The worst thing that she has decided that we need to do is to stop using our central air conditioning system this summer. When she first started trying to revamp our budget, she noticed that our air conditioning bills were always one of the most expensive things that we have to pay during the summer. That’s why she decided that this summer, we should not really use our central A/C much at all. I tried to tell her that the reason that our cooling bills are so high is because it gets so ridiculously hot around here during the summertime! If we don’t run our A/C this summer, we might literally just melt away when the temperatures start heating up. You would have to know my wife, though. She is a real hard case when it comes to spending money. I don’t know what I’m going to do! Probably, I’m just going to be hot this summer. I can’t ever get that woman to change her mind.
