I was surprised that she didn't ask for money. Her credit card has said $0 credit for a couple of days now.
So, she may have got her check from her first sale. I ask about once a week if she's closed anything yet and she always says no, but I know that she was jumping up and down one day with posse saying she had her first commission and she planned to pay off some of her overdue cards with it.
Not sure why she's keeping her sales a secret. It will eventually come out one way or another. I hope she doesn't have a mind that she is going to file taxes separately, because it will cost us literally thousands and thousands of dollars if she does that. Even if I filed for D today, we would still be married at the end of the year and we really ought to file taxes jointly. I haven't said a thing about it because there's a lot of road between here and there, and she would again take my meticulous financial planning for "controlling her money". I just hope she is setting aside something for her taxes on that income and doesn't plan to stick me with that.
Other alternatives are: 1) she is just running up debt on some new card. 2) OM gave her some cash - I kind of doubt that. 3) MIL broke down - unlikely - MIL is really not happy with W. 4) SIL broke down - that will never happen.
