Money that doesn't make cents

I don't know if this is a good or bad thing to share but I'm going to anyway. I'm a control freak when it comes to money. I hate to admit it but throughout my marriage, it's been more and more evident.  When we get money, I want to save or stash it for a rainy day. I'm not an impulsive buyer. When I go to the mall or a store, I get what I need and then leave. No need to be looking around. I brought just enough money for what I was looking for. Why buy small things like Qtips, dishwashing liquid, toilet paper, carpet cleaner, bathroom cleaners, etc. at Walmart when I can get them for a dollar at Dollar Tree? A couple of weeks ago, I bought some laundry detergent called Awesome! I only had a couple of bucks on me and it got the job done. Still cracking up over the name though. :) I have no shame in shopping at Aldi's, Goodwill, and flea markets. If something's on sale, it has to be on sale-sale. I don't need an iphone, ipad, or a Kindle. Don't need a flat screen; the television we have is working just fine. (And no, it doesn't have any dials on it to change the channels. I know what you're thinking!) I'm frugal and definitely have cheap moments. I'm always thinking about bills and what's coming up that needs to be paid so buying something extra (want, not a need) isn't going to happen. Husband...not so much. He's everything opposite. First time I brought up Aldi's (before we got married), he gave me the weirdest look. Now, he's all for it because we save money. But it's all good---our marriage is all about differences and being opposites. Having said that, I took on paying the bills. Looking at the past months, I'm not sure if it was a good idea for me to pay the bills. Yes, I pay them timely and make sure that I budget food, gas and extra needs but when it comes to extra wants, I tend to turn into Linda Blair. It even scares me a little bit. Whenever my husband says I need, it's usually a want and I immediately shake my head and say no. My husband even asked my father, his father in law why am I the way I am. My father (gotta love him!) said she takes after me. Ian didn't really know what to say to that. Hell, what he could say to that? I am trying to control Linda though. I work a lot of over time so a)Linda won't be so stressed and b) so Cassandra can say that she's not just working for bills. I'm trying to grasp that it shouldn't be all work and no play. Got to enjoy what you work for. Husband is helping me that. Let's have fun. The other day I bought two nail polishes $1.97 a piece. Does that count? (Mom said I should have just gotten my nails. Not quite there yet.) Happy marriage!
