Okay, today's question comes from Keith in California.

He says, my wife and I are in baby step two with $10,000 of remaining debt.

We generally agree on our budget, but we have one reoccurring disagreement.

I spend about $40 every three months on a haircut, which fits our budget.

My wife would prefer that I visit a professional barber every month at a cost of around $110 per visit.

Her argument is that it makes me look better

It helps my professional image, and I love this one, it makes her feel better when my hair and beard are styled.

I don't think the barber is a waste of money, but my concern is that a 110 monthly bill doesn't seem to fit our budget or align with the intensity of Baby Step 2.

Is this the type of expense that should wait until we're debt-free, or is it reasonable to include it in the budget because of the personal and professional benefits?"

some opinions on this I can't wait um because I don't my first thought is my first thought is this woman is desperate there's something that she she's trying to be nice but it sounds like you're really in the need of some grooming to be done that's what he goes and gets a $40 haircut they don't groom every three months

Three months, that's a quarter.

That's a long time.
