Yeah - seems more like roommates than soulmates. :D

Although - I get that some people are fuckin' TERRIBLE with money and such an arrangement may be a necessity.

Still seems weird.
Parent friends of ours are like that. Hubby has a CC with a $12K balance at 30% interest. Apparently, he's content paying on that rather than pursuing a balance transfer to a 0% card that he just opened. I forsee only bad things coming from this.

I could NEVER live with someone like that.

what I don't get is married people with separate bank accounts, who apparently nickle and dime each household bill?
Man I’ve got a few stories about this kind of thing. When a family member was hospitalized a little while ago I got some insight into their financial situation. The husband and wife have very different financial minds and it was not fun trying to figure out the arrangement.

I just don't get how that could work. they just let the other person's finances go to shit as long as they pay their "rent"?

It was a bit more complicated than that. He had the understanding and the plan in terms of moving money around and setting long term plans. She thinks and budgets week to week (maybe month to month). He’d set up a 0% balance transfer card with a plan for future payment at maturity. She’d see a balance and want it paid to $0 immediately at any cost, even if it created liquidity problems and would end up costing them more money.

I need to see if I can find it again, but years ago I read an article that made a pretty convincing argument that OJ was covering for his son. Like, had it been presented in court, I might have had a "shadow of a doubt". No doubt OJ was a terrible human being, but decades after the fact I had my mind possibly changed about him definitely being a murderer.

Didn’t he write a book detailing how he would have done it if he did ?

I absolutely love how I can search our global sharepoint site here at work, for a specific tool, and find hundreds of documents, powerpoints, diagrams etc etc on it. But not the actual link to the damn thing. :think:

Discovered that the unopened new Under Armor t-shirt that I bought for my hike is not like the others and is made from a material so thin you can see through it. Now I have to go out shopping for a replacement or an entirely new brand. Not cool. Or wear the freshest one I have. It’s only got 534+ miles. Thing will smell like road kill in August after a couple weeks. :bad:

I've gotten a few things from Ketl Mountain recently and been pretty happy with the material. Definitely worth a look.
