A very wise person once told me that one of the keys to happiness is learning to say yes without resentment and no without regret.
We spent 2 winters at Long Island Village in Port Isabel; just 2.7 miles across the bridge to South Padre. We used to go there often for drink specials, $1 jugs of beer, food & walks along the beach. Of course, that is during the winter Texas season. When the college kids come, the winter Texans flee like the plague, the prices go up & it just ain't the same.
There is wisdom in your words.
All couples should take turns, I think. Most women leave the finances and house maintenance chores to the husband and the husband leaves the cooking and household chores to the wife. Then, when something happens to one of them, the other one feels helpless.
Great idea, but I think you should have a few trial runs with her, explain everything to her. What you feel makes sense to you since you have always done it, may read like Chinese to her while reading your instructions. Let her read the binder and explain to you the contents and you'll know what I'm talking about. She may be a genius, but if she's never taken care of financial matters, it all will be incomprehensible to her.
I have along with my kids.
I hear you @Catlady ...I have started organizing my things and throwing out what I know I'll never use. I have usually been an organized person and fell out of it for awhile but now am back into it.

I've gone through my 2 dressers, my computer desk, my little 4 drawer mini dresser; going to tackle my book shelves and closets although I've gone through the 5 of them pretty well. Just am going to start getting rid of clothes I'll never wear. Also must clean out my kitchen cupboards and throw stuff out I don't use along with clean them with Murphy's.
Good luck with that organizing!
Good for you for getting what you need! I too just bought 2 comfy bras as mine ripped. I was going braless tooBest of luck to the both of us, may we both end 2020 so organized we'll find stuff with our eyes closed.
And just now I've thrown in the towell and done something I should have done a long time ago. I'm going to start 2020 right! Because of my many cats, I buy boxes of 40 lbs clumping litter and at 77 I've had to swallow my pride and admit they are HEAVY. So, I just went to Amazon and ordered myself a dolly to carry them to their litter boxes. I have a dolly for yard work, but don't want to use it inside the house. This is the dolly I just bought below. Plus, I bought two soft bras with front closure to wear around the house, I've been going braless and feel like a cave woman.

The dolly I bought can be used for lots of uses, and best of all, it can be collapsed when not in use and it had lots of good reviews. AND it was one of the cheapest.
