who out there actually has a "flashlight budget".how much do you allocate each month and more importantly how do you get it past your wives/partners.gc.:huh2:

Then there is the "rainy day fund" which I'm building up to about 6 months living expenses and the car fund at about $500/month since I'm not currently making car payments. After all that I pay off the mortgage and the groceries, bills and gas, etc.
Whatever is left I get to spend on TOYS! No specific budget for flashlights, but I try to keep things under control.
I hope so, but who knows. People imagine all sorts of emergencies in which they will need lights, etc in order to justify their purchases, but I think for most Americans a financial emergency is immanent.iced_theater said:Your going to be set when you retire.
