JD, I need to live where you are living! That is really excellent... I live in Baltimore, and it can get quite pricey. I go to the hairdresser semi regularly, but cut down on the cost because I can maintain my hair between visits. In college, I paid nothing to get my hair done, because the girl on campus who did hair wasn't very good at math, so I tutored her and she styled me. Not to say that there are not salons that offer quality services at a slightly lower price, but for the most part, it can be pretty pricey up here. And her poor husband... How is he allowing this to happen in his family? I can understand why he is looking to divorce her, he probably feels like he is not being a good "man" because he is not properly managing his family. I know many people (including me) struggle with spending, and surely, I don't mean to judge this woman, but this story really made me question and ridicule some... well, many, of my spending habits.
