Discretionary Income

I'm the "go to guy" for handouts and I don't have a hard and fast "this gets cut out" rule. If I have money in my pocket the answer is yes. No money in my pocket and the answer is no.
One exception is that I make sure my daughter has a few bucks via her allowance. We have a standing deal that if she takes care of her education I'll take care of everything else.
She pulled a 96% average this 9 weeks and she's in all advanced classes.
It's the best investment I've ever made, so I pay that bill first.
If there's anything left after bills we do whatever sounds fun, whether it be eating out or just going for ice cream.

This dropping of gas prices makes a big difference, that's for sure.
There's an extra 100 bucks a week available for fun stuff now.
