Credit Card Charges Gallore
So my mom doesn't have a diagnosis of dementia, but we've been noticing signs for a while that something isn't right. Today, I noticed she had 19 of the same vitamin, which seemed like a lot. So I did some digging in her Shopify account and was astonished at what I found. In the past three months, she has signed up for over $1,700 in monthly subscriptions. She says she didn't sign up for many of them, but that doesn't seem accurate, since they are the kinds of things I've seen her purchase. I've canceled as many of them as I can, but some of the companies have her locked into a certain number of shipments before they will let her cancel. It's crazy.
I'm stumped as to how to keep this from happening again. It's not even the first time she's bought an outrageous number of things before (Looking at you, 50 cases of toilet paper). It's a family credit card, so we need to be able to use it for purchases, so I can't cancel it. How are you all keeping these random, midnight purchases from destroying your finances?
