[QUOTE="Shari, post: 375520, member: 1848"] Ditto what H&R said, open an account in your name only, keep $10 in it to keep it active, and you can transfer to it IF needed. Except I wouldn't put a debit card on it. I'd strictly put an ATM card on it. Even in this day and age, it takes time for those debit card transactions to hit the account, and she could go over the amount in a short amount of time. The other thing I would do? I'd do this all silently. I'd bring that atm card home and freeze it in the middle of a tupperware container of ice and mark it "fish bait" or something (put ice in the bottom, then the card, then cover with ice and water to freeze it all together). Then if she truly calls and ever needs it, she can thaw it out, but otherwise won't even know it exists. [/QUOTE]
