'Okay Nick, we are going to have to have a talk about how to manage our budget.' Ellie announced.

'Must we? I think we're doing pretty great financial wise.' Nick replied.

'I don't think so. I took a look at our bills and receipts for this month, we spent quite a lot! Though, it was mostly you and your buying those so called 'collectables.'.

'Hey! Those collectables are priceless treasures!'

'Really? A glove supposidly owned by a famous actor? A plate with a rock star's face on it? Yeah, I don't think so.' Ellie rebuked.

'Well, what do you want me to do?! I love collecting those things! It's a great hobby.' Nick replied.

'What I want, is for you to lay off on the buying for a little while. We need to get serious about trying to save money.

Nick hated it, but he went along with it. As for how he got around the rule, he got Mcgee to do the collecting for him. And it was working out, well. Until Delilah started noticing an uptick in receipts.
