I have a boyfriend who goes out and foolishly wastes his money, and every time I see that happening it's like a dull butter knife giving me a stigmata. Anyways, for example he would go out a few times a week to buy groceries, the same type too, and the groceries he purchases are usually expensive and not-sales item, like small jars of peanut butter for $4... buying bread repeatedly... taking too many trips to the stores. I tell him one item is better to buy because it's cheaper in bulk and I know he likes it. He's like, "I'm not going back" this was at the cash register line.
Then I see him buying worthless crap like a $110 plastic banana tree, seriously, I was like, "That's money that we're not going to feel comfortable for next week".
Seriously, when it starts affecting my plans then it's a problem, siince I had to purchase $40 of groceries even though I know we spent like over $200 in one month. I wasn't hungry though, he's just a guy who eats a lot of crap.
He receives money for being disabled/police officer pensions from retirement. It's a little less than 30 k a year.
