sigh
like so many people these days, i get the statement, thumb through it, and make sure i have sufficient funds to cover my outstanding bills.
usually - due to my job over the past few years - my wife has been the one reviewing the statements regularly.
she explained to me that she only noticed these two charges a few months ago, but had assumed that they were associated with my web site.
However, now that im home more often now, i have resumed "control" of the financing situation.
and my first act as head of the financial sector at this household was to collect up all the debit cards for the checking and saving accounts, and file them away for a period of 6 months.
this decision was made because it had become apparent that nearly $900 per month was spent on debit card purchases... and in most cases it was purchases that would have probably never been made without cash on hand.
