I feel like I am being selfish. We received our tax returns for this year already and while they were not that great it still gives us a nice little bit of cash to spend on ourselves. My idea is not a fun one, I plan on putting most of it into our savings account so we build up our emergency fund.  I stress about money a lot and I know I would relax quite a bit if I had some extra cash in our fund. My wife has a different idea.  Since she has gained a bit of weight her wedding ring does not fit anymore.  So she was talking about getting it redone. The problem is that it is not cheap to do.  It would take a portion of our tax return and while I would still be able to put money into our emergency fund it would give us nothing extra for anything else that would be fun. Of course I think I made her mad because I mentioned that I wanted to spend the money on us and put most of it into our savings, but she sad she really wants to get this done. She has not been wearing a wedding

Work has been overwhelming recently leaving me no time to do things that I enjoy. But I feel that I still need to post here from time to time just so some of you know that I am still alive and kicking. So here is an update of sorts: Work is busy, they are consolidating our office and we still wondering if we will have jobs in six months. Home life is stressful.  My wife was injured in our apartment complex and has trouble walking.  At first I was very good about helping her, but I think she is milking it a bit too much now.  I know it hurts but she still needs to try to get around on her own and not rely on me so much. We have not had sex in quite some time. I think I posted it on here the last time we did so if you care to look you will know the exact date... in any event I can not remember it so it must be a while. Valentines is coming and I know it will be stressful for her because she feels that she should have sex with me but does not want to. I may be traveling again,
