Husband: Hi, honey, here’s my last month’s salary.

Wife: OK, darling. How about this? From now on we’ll put all your salary into our savings account and set aside 20% of my salary as Daniel’s education fund.

Husband: That’s not a bad idea. But do you think the rest of your salary will be enough to cover our daily expenses?

Wife: I got a raise. Have you forgotten it? It should be OK.

Husband: Alright, dear. It’s up to you. I get a headache when it comes to figures.

Wife: That’s why you need a wife like me
