How long has it been since she complimented you? Figure a long time, so I don't think it is too far fetched to say that she almost needed to temper it with some back handed comment about debt.
Come a day when she doesn't need to offset the compliment.

So, hopefully that will score a few points.
You shooting hoops?
Be consistent in the good things you do, this isn't a game. You're not keeping score, unless you want to get depressed when you tally up after sevral weeks or months. Do them because it makes her happy, and eventually see the change.
We return genuine kindness with kindness. We suspect false kindness, we return apathy with apathy, and anger with anger, all over the long haul.
