About Cathy
Newlyweds Cathy and Irving navigate the treacherous waters of couple-hood. From pampered pets to prying parents, they’ve got a lot to learn! Wedding or not, it’s still all about Cathy - she personifies the young career woman and her typical daily obstacles. Ice cream, panic attacks, stress and love are all in a day’s work. We read, we identify, we laugh. Who could ask for more?
Cathy is the Everywoman. She deals with diets, self-esteem, in-laws, and letting her husband know that she is the boss. Everyone can identify with her shopping, bills, taxes, planning for the future and coping with her husband’s incessant computer golf games. Whether you are a newlywed, single, or have been married for decades, all will enjoy the daily predicaments of Cathy and Irving.

she used word spendthrift wrong. Spendthrift means someone who spends wisely – she was trying to go for another word that meant a person who is trying to save money. spendthrift is the opposite of pennypinching, cost conscious, or prudent or budget minded.

Merriam Webster dictionary says:
a person who spends improvidently or wastefully

Good start, unless Cathy tries to economize by checking out the thrift stores (The Retro-Rage Recycler?) Then instead of spending all her money on new clothes, our gal will spend all her money on old clothes.

Adding: Interesting, in the Spanish version of today’s Cathy, the translator didn’t follow the ‘spendthrift’ slipup - ‘La Guia de Safari Frugal’ is used, getting it right.
