Ok...we are planning on leaving town tomorrow am with Chad's payday being on Friday. We have a bill that is due NEXT WEDNESDAY, but Dh wants me to pay it before we leave (we will be back on Monday)... it will compeletely clear out our checking account... and honestly if we weren't going anywhere I wouldn't have a problem... BUT we only have $50 cash and Dh seems to think that will be enough to get us to the Twin Cities (400+ miles away) with our van already being on 1/2 a tank a gas.

Am I 'wrong' in that I am refusing to pay the bill until pay day.... and now Chad is telling me that I am just being a contol freak... I responded with "You are being silly...."

Am I really being a control freak?!?!?

I'd pay it when you get home. Unless it's a credit card bill that will hit you up for late fees & possibly raise your interest rate if you are late. If it's just a utility or something, I'd put it off.

I'd write out the check and everything, take it with you on your trip and drop it in the mail once he gets paid. It won't get to them and clear your bank for a while anyway.

I would wait and pay it when I get back. Or go ahead and write a check and mail it, that way it wont clear until after payday anyway.

I dont think you can be called a control freak over one simple disagreement!!!

Awaiting my sticky bean

How did it all turn out hon

and no I definitely don't think you are a control freak. Chad is/was upset because you weren't going to do something HIS way, men are silly sometimes.

I would wait as well. You usually have 10 days grace period anyway (well, we also thought that w/ our Capital One bill too & we were charged a late fee!!! UGGGH!)... no sense in using the money that you might need on your trip.
