Kerry,

Our Adventure In Accountability

It was a warm spring morning, the sun was shining, and the mountains were coming to life.  I (Scott) sprang out of bed with one thing on my mind: This is the weekend I'm going to conquer a Fourteener!  (That's what folks in Colorado call a mountain over 14,000 feet.)  Naturally, I needed some new equipment.  I headed off to REI with visions of a new pack, boots, and other cool gear.

I never should have left the house without Bethany.

After an hour-long shopping spree, I drove home with $300 worth of equipment.  Since Bethany and I have a standing agreement to check in with each other before purchasing anything over $100, I knew I'd blown it.  Now I had to be accountable for my impulsive acquisitions.

After showing Bethany my new equipment, I confessed that I broke our $100 rule and awaited my "punishment."  Bethany, who is gracious about these things, looked over my purchases and proposed a solution - one that did involve accountability.  How about if I kept $200 worth of gear and returned the rest?  Fair enough.  Minutes later, I was in the car and headed back to REI.  An argument was diverted and no voices were raised, because we made a quick decision and exercised mutual accountability.

Quick Cents Application Points:

1.       If you haven't established a purchasing limit with your spouse, what is a reasonable amount?

2.       How has having a purchasing limit helped your relationship?
