Mwahahahahahahahaha..... No, I didn't pay anything down but I have a small household victory.
About a year ago, 6 months after DD was born, DH told me that he didn't want me paying the bills anymore and that he wanted to take over. He told me because it was making me cranky and b*tchy and he wasn't being allowed to have any fun. I had been doing the bills for about a year up until that point. He still says he wants to do the bills but I refuse to let him for two reasons. 1) As a military wife it is better to do the finances yourself because if he does them and he leaves you have no idea what is going on 2) He's just like the rest of his family and he would blow about 90% of his pay on fun/junk/whatever he WANTS and we would have nothing to pay bills with.
Well, as of right now he can kiss my rear end about the cranky/b*tchy thing. Since I took over bill pay/budgeting 2 of his cards have given him credit increases (I'm not happy about it but he loves it) and one of his cards dropped it's interest rate by almost half!! (29.99% to 15.4%) Guess my tightwadishness is paying off. Now, if he'll let me put more money on the cars we can pay them off a year ahead of schedule!!
