8 years later, we are still putting everything on the credit card; because while you got a job, it didn't pay as well as the original job, and we still stuck to the original budget. At that point we decide that since you are more responsible for the condition than me, I will set the budget from now on.

18 years later, we are still putting everything on the card and now interest is killing us.

Where should the blame for the current condition be placed?

A) On you, for losing your job.

B) On you, for not adjusting the budget to meet the new conditions.

C) On me, for agreeing to it.

D) On me, for not adjusting the budget to meet the new conditions.

E) On you, for agreeing to it.

F) On both of us for agreeing to the expensive suit.

G) On both of us for not adjusting the budget to meet the new conditions.
