Thanks, I'll look him up.
Ok, so preliminary plan is: My weekly check is to go to 'allowances', with each of us getting a set amount for the week based on need: He will get $50-that should cover gas, morning coffee and newspaper, etc.(His lunches are either leftovers from dinner or sandwiches). Kids will get $15 each to cover their lunches and it will be up to them how little or how much they use-if they go over, oh well and if they come in under, the change is theirs. I will stress to them that they are not to skip lunch entirely. And I will get $30 a week.
Anything that's left over(I sure hope there is) goes into the statement savings and once a month, if need be, will be used to pay on the charge card(s).
This was already met with a sour response....too freakin bad. Funny thing is, I told him tonight, no more swiping....he went to Target while I was at work-shampoo, cookies, etc. But he did go through the coupons at least!!
