Dude, those compilation disks were amazing, and some even came with DVDs of their music videos. I remember how cringy After Forever videos were, and how enchanting Floor’s voice and interpretation always was. I still listen to VOA frequently, and those albums really helped shape my taste in music.
If you want a fancy treat, give both Diablo Swing Orchestra and Igorrr a listening to, they are amazing.
Matter of taste. With my last husband, we just placed both our salaries into a shared account, took all the expenses out of it, then split the remainder 50/50. Each one could do whatever they wanted with their half, and we even had a flex account for house expenses that weren’t covered in the original expenses calculation, and it worked great.
