We were truly meant for each other
Ack! I can't believe I let our five year anniversary pass by without even a mention! That's just how romantic I am. Bleh....

Anyhoo....

We've closed down our personal accounts and no longer get an allowance. Everything comes out of joint funds (there goes my personal massages from Enrique...), so we mention when we're about to make a purchase over 25.00 to each other before we do it. I'm sure we'll go back to having allowances after we're both bringing in the bacon (which is good, because then I can sneak Enrique back in...)

Here's today's conversation about a purchase BJ would like to make:

BJ: I would like to get some new golf shoes. Mine are over three years old. It would also be nice to get some more comfortable for walking the course, as I have been lately. The ones I have are more for being waterproof.

Should be between $50-100. Maybe a little more, depending on the sale.

Me: Do you have any other qualifiers? Seems that I’m the *BDM and I’d like more evidence of **ROI. wink

BJ: No payoff or ROI. Purely a cost model, not offset by revenue of any kind. .......smarty pants

It looks like Lori needs to get a JOB.

For the non-business types
*business decision maker
**return on investment

If the new shoes help his game (putting BJ in a good mood) your personal ROI could be HUGE.

If they hinder his game (putting BJ in a foul mood) there will be a tremendous negative ROI.

I figure the odds on the plus side to be about 60%, on the negative 40%... measure the risk vs. the reward and your decision is: (fill in the blank)
