OK. So where do you think we can save more money?
Well,we couldn't eat anymore. That 300 dollars for entertainment 1 is mostly going to restaurants.
Yes. That's a good idea! And you like to cook. What about the books?
No,I need my books.
Come on! If we save more money we can retire 2 earlier and you'll actually have time to read all those books you buy.
Well,what about the 50 you spent on shirt? You could have gotten something for less!
Ok,let's compromise 3. If you agree to only spend 75 on books I'll agree to only spend 50 for my next shirt.
All right. That sounds fair!
