Yeah, after thinking about it, I see your point. I'm sure some would see even a bit of weakness but, we all do what we have to do. 47 years of marriage has taught me a few things.

Update: I explained to my wife my new hobby yesterday. After some minor eye rolling and mild protests, she said, "whatever you want to do honey just don't run up balances on the cc's."

I handed her a brand new CMPE card, in her name, and told her to use it for everything she normally uses the debit card for over the next few months.
