So we went shopping for a new-to-me washer and dryer yesterday. We found a great set for $399. Which we have the money for, sort of. My mom offered to give us $200 towards it as Christmas present! Great! We are going today to haggle a little and see if we can get it under $400 with tax and delivery. That's sort of good news. Good because we will have clean, dry clothes, bad because I really didn't want to spend any extra money this month. oh, well!
My rant is... I started doubling our Capital One card this month, instead of $15 we are paying $30. I paid it Monday, a few days early. I logged on yesterday to check our balance, and they charged us a $39 member fee! This account is closed! Our balance is higher now after doubling our payment! I told my dh to call them and try to get it taken off! We have been on time for about 6 months now, closed the account and started payig extra! I was furious yesterday! One step forward, 4 steps back! We only owe about $375. I think I may have to take more of our "extra" money and just pay the stupid thing off! AAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!

Happy Veteran's Day everyone!

urgh, we had the same thing happen to us!! last week we started paying down our household bank card, we made a payment of 35 bucks, and then the next month they charged us a member fee of 69 dollars and then that threw us over the limit, and then they charged us an over the limit fee! sometimes it feels like why do we bother?
