   Aha, I see that it’s in euros. That would answer the question all married men have asked: why everything seems more expensive on your cc statements when you’re not around. Clearly they’re converting our money into euros at a loss.

   I think this symbol meshes well with Keith’s “Spew Alert” post above.

   Wow, you get to see you cc statements? When I handed off control of my paycheck to my wife, she also took control of all the finances as part of the bargain. She’s been trying to hand it back to me for years, but I know better

   Yeah, I was just going to post on my thread that it sounded like we were in agreement with Peg’s post…

   My wife handles our statements also. She didn’t like my “close enough” method of reconciliation.

   She didn’t like my “close enough” method of reconciliation.

   Yeah, I think the final decision was made after a conversation that went something like this:

   WIFE: We really need to save up for [something "we" -- meaning "she" -- really wants]. How much money do we have in the bank?

   ME: I don’t know. What does the ATM statement say?

   WIFE: ATM statement? Haven’t you balanced your checkbook?

   ME: [considering checkbook while weighing it in my hand] Seems fine to me.

   That was pretty much the end of it.

   Ha! And the truth comes out.

   I *did* hand finances back to my husband (even if he has the same approach as you dudes) and I will not take it back because I’d rather let him tell me what I can spend or not than try to be his mama and tell him what he can spend or not.

   The person who handles the finances *deserves* to be cooperated with.
