00:00How much money are you allowed to spend on yourself without your spouse knowing?
00:04Just think about that number in your head.
00:0699.5 QIK.
00:07It's Mark and Melanie.
00:08Tampa Bay's morning crew.
00:10Yeah, I was thinking about this because we talked about the Wayfair.
00:12On Wayfair.com, you could buy this tree stump, which is basically an end table.
00:16It's $214, man.
00:18Which is crazy.
00:19It's a tree stump for $214, but people buy it, and it's on sale, by the way.
00:23There were 37 reviews, so at least 37 people bought this tree stump.
00:27There are at least 37 people that need help out there, and we're thinking about them right now.
00:32But until we find out who they are, what's your number?
00:35How much could you spend, and then let's say your wife or your husband come home, boyfriend, girlfriend, and you're like,
00:41Hey, I dropped this much money on this.
00:43What's the number before they get mad?
00:45Send us that text, and if you ever push the limit, 800-992-1099.
00:50Melanie, we just did a quick trip with you to the casino before Dirk's, and your fiancé threw you a $100 bill,
00:56told you to throw it on one hand to blackjack.
00:58You did, and you won.
01:00Yes.
01:01Melanie's full of...
01:02Dude, she's full of nothing but good luck these days right now.
01:05You're riding it, man.
01:06Man, I have won every time I've gone to the casino, knock on wood.
01:09I know, but let me ask you this.
01:11What happens if you did that, like if you pulled your own $100 out and didn't tell him?
01:16So right now, because we are not married yet, it wouldn't matter.
01:21I mean, he would judge me hardcore.
01:22That's what I'm saying.
01:23I mean, he would judge me.
01:24What's the number before you get judged?
01:26I think $100 because I said, oh, I need to stop at an ATM and get out cash for the casino.
01:32And he goes, what?
01:34And he goes, how much are you doing?
01:35This is before he threw me the $100.
01:37That's the kind of what to you don't want.
01:39What?
01:39Yeah, he goes, what?
01:40It almost sounds like you're inhaling when you're saying it.
01:42Yeah.
01:42What?
01:42I said, we got to leave a little early to meet Mark at the station because I got to pull out $100.
01:46He goes, $100?
01:48He goes, just so you can throw it away.
01:50Okay.
01:50So you're $100.
01:51Kevin, what would be your number?
01:52But then he matched my $100.
01:53He gave me $100.
01:54Yes, he did.
01:54Yeah, he thought about it.
01:56And he's like, I do want to make some money here.
01:57Yeah.
01:58My number's $50.
02:00So $50.
02:01Your wife won't say anything.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Yeah, I use the example of like, okay, Avengers Endgame comes out on digital next week.
02:07So it's $20, right?
02:08So I won't have to ask her.
02:10I'll just do it.
02:11But I think if it's like a $75 thing, I think she's going to have an issue.
02:15What if it's something for the both of you?
02:16So say that you're at Target.
02:18I have to okay it with her first.
02:20$50.
02:21I think it's $50 and under.
02:22I think that threshold is a little low.
02:24What if it's just for her?
02:25Then it's infinity, right?
02:26Just spend it all below the whole thing?
02:28You can spend hundreds of dollars.
02:29Sure.
02:31Buck, what's your number with your wife?
02:32It's very situational.
02:35The situation is if she's spending it, she doesn't have to check with you.
02:39But if you are, you've got to check.
02:40Exactly.
02:41All right.
02:41You're shopping for, you know, let's say you're buying something.
02:45It's just for you.
02:46She would have no interest.
02:47I mean, kind of like Kevin, $50 or so.
02:51It depends.
02:52But if it's a few days before payday, a.k.a. there is no money, just don't.
02:58Just don't.
02:59Okay?
03:00That's right.
03:01That's true.
03:01That is so relatable.
03:02You ever bought something, and while the transaction's going through and you're signing it, you're
03:07just sweating bullets because you know your wife's going to be, oh, my God, I hate that
03:11feeling.
03:12Instant regret.
03:13Oh, yeah.
03:13Like, as you're signing, like, I'm doing the M.
03:16And M in my, you know.
03:17Do I really need this?
03:19M is for mistake.
03:20You know what I mean?
03:22And I'm like, oh, it's in slow motion.
03:24That's how I feel every time I check out at Target.
03:26And that's just me judging myself.
03:29I'm just like, I need to not be doing this.
03:32All right.
03:32What's your number?
03:33800-992-1099.
03:35What would be your number that you can spend?
03:38But I'll tell you, if you go over this number, your significant other is going to have a fit.
03:42What is it?
03:43And what did you buy?
03:44Text us now.
03:45You can call us, too.
03:46Let's say you really jumped your number and you caught it from the significant other.
03:50Call us.
03:51800-992-1099.
03:53It's 99.5-QI.
