Came home a few days ago and there were 2 credit card bills waiting.
One was from a business trip my wife took. Bill was $1200 and needless to say her expense check was slightly more than half the bill.
One was from a soccer purchase I did last October and I gave my wife the cash to pay the bill off.
Because she does the checking account month to month I did not see these bills until this week. OUCH.
Add to that our bank was charging us $5 for each of my 7 mutual fund purchases in my IRA, plus a $15 excessive transaction fee which I just caught.
I went ballistic on Tuesday. The wife was not happy at how upset I got over what she called "little" things.
Since then, called the bank and they waived all the fees.
Tapping into emergency funds to pay off the credit cards. I am more relaxed now, but I didn't sleep too well until this was taken care of.

Going ballistic may not have been the best reaction...but neither was her labeling those actions 'little things'....
sounds like maybe an 'after you calm down discussion' would be a good idea to aleviate future surprises about those types of 'little things' *ack*

I have not seen my wife since the problem surfaced... only spoke about them on the phone.
