Dear Abby: Wife wants concert ticket payment sooner rather than later

Wife wants concert ticket payment sooner rather than later When purchasing concert tickets online for others, when should you expect reimbursement? I say the charge hits your credit card immediately, and so should the payment you’ve advanced for that person. Unless immediate repayment was agreed upon at the time they were ordered, I agree with your husband that reimbursement when the tickets are delivered is appropriate. When we have a fight, the first thing he does is text-message my parents and tell them everything. Dear Abby: I’m a 26-year-old man living in Boston and in my final year of grad school. In Boston, that’s not a huge deal, but when I’m visiting them in Georgia on breaks, it’s a point of contention, since I must let them know I’m taking a car. When I told them I’ll pay my portion of the bill, their response was, “Would you prefer more texts and phone calls?” How can I deal with this situation? Look into ways of getting a reasonably priced phone plan, i.e., a prepaid phone. Perhaps your friends can pick you up and drop you off instead?
