That sucks dude, I know that I am more on the investment side than my wife and she wants to save as much money as she can in the bank instead of spending it on things. Where we both struggle equally is procrastinating buying things when we know we should lol. We do eventually buy something or spend money on something but it can sometimes be a bit later. Sometimes it's at a price increase but others it's at a savings which is nice.
The unfortunate part is that it happened when it did! We know that we would love to do things when we think of it but that can also have it's downfalls. At least it can be something she learns from, hopefully!
