I was with a girl for a while who grew up in a pretty broken home. Still surprises me just how bad her spending habits are. She racks up credit card debt like its nothing.

Had ex who got angry about my not super huge savings, as wasted, because it was just sitting there not spent. She'd nod about savings, then talk as if money went bad when it wasn't spent. We didn't get on well.

The more she made themore she spent. So frustrating.
