   Dear Troubled User,   
      
   My colleague gave you a great many good suggestions and you may be completely   
   happy with Wife 1.0 once they are implemented.   
      
   An alternative suggestion: Install Boat 1.0 and you will never need to worry   
   about Wife 1.0 (or having any money) again
