Guy Space

OK, I need to poll the audience here. There are two places in my house that are MINE. One is the top of my dresser and the top two drawers, the other is my computer and the desk top it is on. For clarity, I don't even get the drawers of the desk, but the top is mine. One other sacred space is mine and that is my wallet. Thats it. My wife thinks I am crazy when I will not get into her purse when I am looking for something, but I won't. She asks me what I have to hide when I get squeamish when she wants to root through my wallet. But I digress.

Last night, with no warning, her computer shut down. I am no computer geek, but I am guessing that its the power supply. I called the local computer guys and asked them how much it would cost, and the first quote was $150. I really don't have the cash right now to repair a computer that is less than two years old ( and yes, out of warranty). One the other hand, I will not be able to take having her in MY space for much longer.

Am I crazy?

Should I spend the money?

Should I sell the kids halloween candy on Ebay to finance this?

What is a guy to do?
