M: Ok, so where do you think we can save more money?
W: Well, we could eat in more. That 300 dollars for entertainment is mostly going to restaurants.
M: Yeah. That’s a good idea and you like to cook. What about the books?
W: No, I need my books.
M: Come on. If we save more money, we can retire earlier and you’ll actually have time to read all those books you buy.
W: Well, what about the 50 you spent on a shirt? You could have gotten something for less.
M: Ok. Let's compromise. If you agree to only spend 75 on books, I'll agree to only spend 40 for my next shirt.
W: All right. That sounds fair.
