Once a person starts engaging in habits that are clearly disgusting and unsanitary and puts themselves and their family at risk for illness due to food contamination, or emotional humiliation, in my opinion you've now crossed a line from simple frugalness into mental disorder.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409930266661908484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-78551297097226267762019-11-18T15:37:25.069+00:002019-11-18T15:37:25.069+00:00Re the movie couple...she knew she was on TV so if...Re the movie couple...she knew she was on TV so if she didn't know he took the cup and popcorn container out of the garbage then , she did after it aired.

I'm not currently married, but if I were my money would go towards the household where we'd both have access to it. If I was married to someone like that I would definitely control my own money and I wouldn't allow my husband to touch it.
