Anyone ever want to throttle their SO?????????? My fiance cannot for LIFE of him control himself with a danged debit card. He uses it when he sees money in the bank not even checking with me if other expenses have been paid out of the account!!!!

The worst thing is it's for FAST FOOD. $99 in overdraft charges because he forgot to tell me about $13 in fast food charges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Let it out debi, you'll feel better.

It is a shame that you can't control his # better than that.

I SWEAR I am gonna take that thing away from him and give him a danged allowance.

We don't have debit/check cards for that very reason, it's just too easy to forget to write something in the checkbook.

 

[Wifezilla]

Do it

 

[ksacres]

Yep, give him cash and tell him when it's gone, it's gone. He'll learn to budget or he'll learn to go without.

Sorry Debi, I know that is no fun. I had a ex husband like that. I am remarried and my dh has just a atm card and I have a debit card. But with his job offshore he is gone so much he is not here to spend. And I am addicted to BYC and my animals and home life, so I don't spend either. We are trying to pay down our debt with everything the way it is.

Maybe he needs a account just for him for his eating or gets out so much cash and that is it for lunches

What kills me the most is that we talked about this 2 weeks ago and agreed to not eat fast food!!! I have been bringing my breakfast and lunch and he is overdrawing our account for McDonalds. I have had ONE egg burrito for $2 in two weeks and he is doing this?????????????
