Putting a PIN on Love
To keep my "spending urges" in check, Andrew Cathcart changed the PINs on every bank card in our household.
"If you need money, just submit a request to me.
"For anything under 1,000 dollars, send me a text. For anything over 1,000 dollars, write up a proper report. Once it's approved, I'll transfer the money to you.
"That's what's best for our family's future."
I went along with it.
For three years, I never touched a single bank card.
Then came the third year.
At a luxury boutique, I spotted Sasha Reyes, the new assistant Andrew had just hired.
"Mr. Cathcart, you've given me way too many cards. I keep mixing up the PINs. Next time, can you just change them all to my birthday?"
