Valentine’s Day Is For Chumps…And Rich People…

Cupid Is Dead

So here we are on another over-marketed holiday designed to move jewelry, cards and candy. And once again, I can’t really afford to buy The Wife much of anything. So instead, I present this:

Dear The Wife,

Thanks for staying with me even when the obvious best move is to probably kick my stupid ass to the curb. Thanks for being a great mom and a great wife. Someday, I will buy you something nice in the price range of $1-$100 for this stupid holiday.

Love, Patrick D.

    Wow, that’s so romantic. ;-) Valentine’s Day is stupid; and the best gift is taking out the trash without being asked. That’s all I’m looking for!

    Great advice EDW! Nice love letter, Patrick. It’s appreciative and truthful and offers hope for a brighter future! I think The Wife will like it too :)

    My husband and I “opted out” of the spending portion of all the “holidays” that were invented to guilt people into spending money. This includes mother’s day and father’s day as well as valentine’s day.

    We try to find ways to be sweet to each other without spending money. I’ll take a long walk with my husband over a card and roses any day!

    We do little things - a few bucks. It’s nice to celebrate. But I will be taking advantage of the cheap after-holiday candy :D
