I’ve seen a lot about how producing electric cars and their batteries isn’t great for the environment either.
I’m sure there are countries like Saudi Arabia where financial disclosures aren’t always public or fully transparent,
So my wife has my debit card. I have two copies in case of emergencies, and my wife usually has one that she uses to buy groceries and anything regarding household items, or anything for herself that she wants. Since she is a stay-at-home mom and does not work herself, and we have two kids. They are all amazing and I love my wife. But last week I was home from work, so she decided it was a good chance to get out with her friends, and I obviously supported it because we all need some friend time.
But here is the kicker. She came home after a few hours, and she was happy. I was happy, but yesterday I went into my bank account to move some money around because we are buying some new furniture for the deck. But I noticed during the day she was out, she had spent over $5K, which I thought must have been a mistake because 5K is a lot of money for a day out. So I went and asked her what happened, and she straight up told me that she took all of her friends out and took care of everything: food, shopping, and everything else. I said that was unacceptable because that card is only for her and household stuff, not her friends. If she spent 5K on herself, I wouldn't care. But since she deliberately took care of everything for her friends, I feel like I got disrespected because I work hard for my money and it's for us, not for her friends to enjoy, and I told her that. And she kind of got upset saying that she just wanted a fun day with her friends.
I told her I understand that, but it was not right of her to use my card for her friends' expenses because that's unfair to me, and she kind of got upset and said she does not want to talk about it. Then she just went to another room and talked to her friends, and now she is just giving me the cold shoulder.
