Halloween can bring out the best and worst in people, and for one couple, it led to a heated argument over their budget. The girlfriend (28/f) owns the house they live in, and her boyfriend (29/m) moved in earlier this year. They agreed to stick to a household budget, but the boyfriend had a childhood dream of living in a fully decorated house for trick-or-treaters, complete with full-size candy bars. Little did she know, this dream would turn into a nightmare.
