Sex before sleep!!! Sex before Sleep!!!

And that's when I knew I was officially old; when my gut reaction to that statement was, "Oh HELL no!"

Well, duh; that's pretty much the definition of "sleep over" As in. Sleep? It's over.

The fact that you want it doesn't make it a non luxury. It's not a need. It's just more important to you to have new stuff than it is to save money, that's all. It's not a big deal. Saying that you *can't* save anything is fallacious, however.

There are plenty of extras in your budget. You just keep insisting that your wants are needs.

Getting something for cheaper is not saving money. If you buy something priced at $250 for only $200, you didn't save $50. You spent $200.

Lois didn't say she thought you should do anything. She said that you should stop saying that it's impossible to save when the reality is you just don't feel like it.

Why would you scoff at Ducky for saying daycare would cost more than she could make working.
