Default Ironic Delivery???

Thought this was somewhat of an ironic mail delivery day. Both magazines came today. On the left...addressed to my wife and on the right...addressed to me!
Suppose she is tryin' to tell me somethin'?

I think your wife thinks your Vette is a money pit. That is the Irony I see.

yep...by saving 25% on the heating bill and $150 a week in groceries. That means we freeze while eating nothing

What could she be trying to tell you?

"Honey, I fully support your Corvette hobby and have found creative ways to free up more mod money." (She's a keeper!)

"Honey, I'm taking a big pay cut at work. I'll work on trimming the household budget while you list your vette for sale." (Oops!)

"Honey, face it, you're an old fart. I'm going to research Medicare D options and how to best prepare for retirement while you putter around with your old car." (Most likely.)

Two different ways to lose money - at least you can drive your investment.
