Well, in your situation I would buy the cheapest desk I could find on Craigslist because you are about to be in a lot of financial pain and there are better ways to spend time than building a desk. I imagine you could get something for $20. As far as finances in general, I always advocate combining finances and giving each person an equal spending allowance. I would consider Netflix a joint expense, and in your case I wouldn't buy a saw right now. As a married guy with a couple houses and lots of tools, I would probably attribute at least 70% of the times I've used my reciprocating saw to poo poo that my wife wanted, so I also don't really think it's fair to call it "your" saw.

Well I think we can definitely answer the question at this point. No, you are not an adult now.
