I know everybody is not in a same class but still we all do budgeting, expenses and impulse. How much do spend a day? Do you think is possible to program your daily expenses?

For a single person keeping to a programmed daily or weekly expenses as the case may be is very possible as your needs can be numbered while some could be easily avoided to serve the set budget. But not for a family man with kids and a wife, there will always be an elastic budget as the demands are not coming from one angle only. Being a family man isn't an easy responsibility to cater for and that's why it's expedient to source out for streams of income so to be able to meet up with the numerous family needs ranging from the children needs, wife and that of extended families.

That's the hardest part about being married that nobody ever warned me about. If I was a single person I could have always set a budget and avoid doing anything that would be crazy, because I am married, sometimes I literally postpone my own medical needs in order to fit our budget, not set budget, literally all of our money, just so I could spend it on something we have to.

I am not saying that it's common, of course we always take care of our medical needs before anything else, but sometimes unexpected stuff happens and we have to pay for them, it's just how it is at this moment. Which is why I believe that we need to make sure things are getting confusing when you are married, both sides makes short end of the stick at times.
