    Default I left my wife...

    ... at home with the checkbook this morning. She is headed to Walmart for groceries. Anybody have fear and anxiety when the spouse heads out with the checkbook?

    Whenever the Old Man leaves the house with the 'money' I hope he comes down with pin # amnesia if it's something we don't really need
    I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    nah, I trust her. Anytime money is spent (like property taxes coming up) I get anxious. You know, just when the savings is looking good, WHAM!!!!!! something goes wrong, and I get anxious.

    My DH knows it's cheaper for me to get groceries, because for some reason it costs more when he does.

    You scared me! Don't do that.

    No anxiety here.

    I don't mind when DH leaves with the checkbook, thats money we have, now with a credit card, that's when I start to sweat. He loves to buy.
