Fair question. Though it always seems like more money is spent and that IS a problem for so many people today especially in the current economy. However, Brutus is the real money earner and as a responsible Dad, the family will do okay in spite of the Boss…..
Brutus reminds me of the Bible verse, “You have been weighed and found wanting.” Daniel 5:27. Brutus – order another credit card to pay off your old cards and start off with just one credit card balance. Shock and Awe. Holy Toledo! Gladys!

A balanced budget that ends in zero cash is better than one unbalanced to the negative.

Poor Brutus, what little money he makes vanishes as if by magic.

In my early days, it was easy. Pay the bills and buy food with what was left.

For some reason, I haven’t had any extra money for the past 3 1/2 years. Something changed back then, but can’t quite remember what it was . . .

As we’ve seen, Gladys spends it faster than Brutus makes it.

They both work for the same company. One has a budget to balance, the other has a money pit for a wife.

To quote Frank and Ernest at the IRS. “I spent most of it before I got it so it wasn’t really income.”
