When your credit card bill arrives and you realise you may have spent a bit too much?

Then this happens the wife yelling & screaming at you calling you an idiot,

Rarely do I think it's too much, but often it seems more than I was expecting in total.

My wife is awesome, when I was describing my latest upgrade plans her main concern seemed to be ensuring that she'd get the old parts from my PC put into her PC.

If you said yes, that was the wrong answer.

She will, of course, be getting entirely new parts, won’t she?

Dealing with the wife is like the Kobayashi Maru, a no win situation.
Even when they question you, they already know the answer.
Best solution nod and say yes dear

I do that all the time, yet she can spend her money on clothes, shoes, make-up and hairdressers but they are necessary.

Happens every month mate, every month...

tonys · 25 Jul 2021 at 23:17

Don't I know it. The only good thing is it's her money not mine

No regrets, even with the 3090 bill.
I have a rainy day fund. It just quietly gets drawn down on a little, as I'm the only one who can check it

Me neither, if i cant pay with a debit card then i aint buying it

something daft already!! · 29 Jul 2021 at 08:10

No, although I own one and store cards, I never use them. They are there for an emergency only. If I cannot afford what I want, I won't buy it.

ttaskmaster · 29 Jul 2021 at 10:34

I don't have a credit card either.
I save up and then buy stuff, so I can always afford it. Couple more decades of this and I might even be able to buy a 30xx card!

No because I only buy things on my credit card, that I could afford to buy anyway (my balance is cleared in full every month).

I use a credit card purely for additional protection (particularly with larger purchases)

Same here, invaluable for the protection.

Likewise... and also gives me a good excuse to tell her how fast we are racking up with Avios points
