So many of us have joked (or been serious) about how this forum and all the links we share has created a significant contribution to the global economy. So after discussing my recent purchases with she whom must be obeyed, she mentioned she had also been spending extra money, this month. We're both normally conservative in our spending habits so I really didn't think any more of it...

Until I received a notification from our (joint) card company saying she whom spends like a drunken sailor is spending a LOT of money this month. To the point that "thousands" isn't a large enough descriptor for how much my spend happy bride is using her card. We set limits on our cards to protect from theft, etc. and after getting this notification, I was pretty dedicated to discuss if we had personally funded "Build Back Brandon" or if enacting Brewster's Millions was a personal goal of hers that we hadn't discussed in the past.

So needing a break to cool off before I had a strongly worded conversation with the one I share the house with, I went for a ride and stopped to get some fuel. "Card Declined"... ... ... So much for cooling down... I went in, confirmed the sale and drove home.

Upon entry to the crime scene where thousands of dollars we needlessly slaughtered, I decided to ask the butcher of bitcoin exactly how much was "extra money".

She mentioned she didn't know but that reminded her that we needed to switch our cards back as I had accidentally taken her card a month or so, ago.

It's a good thing we swapped our cards back so I could purchase these flowers and take she who remains the beauty in my daily life to a very nice brunch.

Lol I had a similar incident happen but it was her, my wife had borrowed my car and then was upset when she checked the bank account, when she asked WTH I had spent so much money on I calmly replied I don't know you have my card. She had to look and then apologized.
