The influence of a frugal wife...
« on: May 26, 2014, 10:09:23 PM »
Interesting story about the 2007 winner of America's Got Talent, who got a major case of affluenza but was reined in by his frugal wife. :)

Maybe I'm just cynical but my first thought is that she is pretending to be frugal so that it appears she loves him regardless of his vast fortune and will then milk his fortune in the divorce.

Lets review this thread in a couple of years!

ah of course, the old "all women are leeches"

per Wikipedia they've been married since 2010, so I think it's already been the aforementioned couple of years

I don't think she's pretending to be frugal. I'm a frugal gal myself, and I would have a hard time turning down 40k worth of Tiffany jewelry. I think she passed the test..
