Hitting the Jackpot
Hi Barefoot,
My hubby spends all his ‘Splurge’ account on TattsLotto. And not just here and there — his account statements are littered with TattsLotto purchases. I think this is unhealthy but he is using his Splurge for it, which I guess shows a level of control. Am I just worried about nothing or is this something we should take seriously? I don’t want to be financially controlling, but it doesn’t feel right.

Hi Melanie,
What a great question!
Here’s a better one I’d ask him:
What could he spend his Splurge money on that would give him the best bang for his buck?
After all, he’s got a 1-in-140 million chance of winning the jackpot … but if he saved up his money and splurged on a romantic night away with you (without the kidlets) … well, I’ll leave it up to you to explain his odds of hitting the jackpot.
And while you’re having a nice romantic dinner, you could do a Barefoot Date Night, review your buckets, and plan on doing more things that’ll make you both smile.
