And more importantly, my wife doesn't mind either. Because in the end, I am still ahead of the game because I never spend any of my 'real' money.
I also find that I am strangely unattached to that money because it is a bit like monopoly money, which is more for keeping score than anything else.
anyway, this attitude has kept me from doing stupid things.
