Guess it pays to take over finances

[Deleted]

Admittedly I have not paid that much attention to finances for years as I've left if up to DH for the most part. I have access to all the info but didn't really scrutinize it. Anyway I decided to "take over" about a month ago in that I am accounting for every penny. Well I just realized there was some weird billing from ADT. So apparently DH (or ADT) didn't cancel our old house monitoring when we moved. So we've been getting billed double for about 2yrs! ADT is crediting all of it (it's about $700) back to our checking account!! I think since I "found" the money, I am gonna buy something fun with it. Wonder what other "surprises" I am going to find. :-|

WOW. I am glad they gave you the $ back. I would have been so mad at my DH.

I can't believe that ADT is crediting all of it back. Nice.

Good work!

Wow. That's great that ADT will credit you back. Good job!

Nice!!
Yeah our finances are in a *much* better shape now that I have taken over!

Great! My DH pays most things but I signed us up for Mint and stalk where all the money is going. Any word on TTC? I am pulling for you.

I can't believe you got all that credited! That's wonderful, and I know I would just feel sick about it if I found out money was going to that for so long. I would buy a nice pair of shoes or boots with half the money and save the other half. Nothing for DH

We have done mint for quite awhile too & I am surprised neither of us noticed but alas somehow it slipped by for years.

Thanks for pulling for me with the TCC . It's been almost a year and still nothing. I turn 37 in less than a month. I made & then had to cancel 2 OB/GYN appointments so I still need to go in & make it a priority. I did finally get my thyroid levels rechecked (I'm hypo) & it's at 5.5 still despite taking meds. That probably explains why I am having no luck as I believe they say it needs to be at a level betwee 1-2 to TTC. So I really need that adjusted & hope it'll do the trick. I haven't given up yet.
