I vow to stop nagging my husband...

My 2007 resolution (to my husband's delight) is to stop nagging him for his debit card receipts. For the past 11 years, I've nagged and asked for these on a daily basis. Do I really need them daily or can I balance the checkbook weekly? Would it kill me to wait until Friday? I think not. With the support of my dear family and friends, I hope to accomplish this resolution in 2007!

Sounds like a great start! Did he 'resolve' something in kind involving you?

Remember, Christina, a resolution is not a vow. A vow is a promise to yourself or others. A resolution is the first step at an attempt to make a change. I know nagging is no fun. My husband and I created a system. When he uses the debit card he stuffs the receipts in one back pocket of his jeans then at night he pulls the wad of receipts out, smooths them flat and places them on the breakfast bar. Then I pick them up when I get a chance that night or the next morning. We work together on our system. It's just as important to him as it is to me that our checkbook reconciles properly (which I also do). I wish you the best.
