September 2015- 7 pages of spending

My husband and I live in DC, which like the San Jose area is expensive. Our joint bank account never really gets to 7 pages. Nor did we, like Sonya, spend $21,000 in a month with our regular spending. It helps that we don't make $21K a month, and we don't spend more than we make.
Anyway, apparently one spends $21K a month of money they didn't earn on a vehicle, the insurance and gas for the vehicle, eating out, spoiling your kids. cell phones, cable, and stupid stuff. Oh, and a little of that goes to support the golden goose who is getting milked (yes, I know I'm mixing my farm animals)  for all this.

 

So let's look at a little spending. On September 3rd $6995 was taken out of the Pershing account that was, WAS, providing a little under $600 a month of income. Taking money out lessened this income. On September 4th, there is a $212.47 charge from T-Mobile, for a phone Carol, the person, the retiree funding this lifestyle, DID NOT USE! Hopefully, Carol got something out of the Comcast Cable.

 

So on the 10th we're paying for the car Carol DOES NOT DRIVE!! On the 10th Carol is paying Mercury Casualty the insurance and GMF Lease, for the vehicle.

 

There is another T-Mobile charge on the 10th. For a phone Carol didn't use, she was paying a lot.

There was something that caught my eye. On the 12th there is a $310.95 charge from Santander Consumer USA. Curious me looked it up and it is apparently some auto financing company. What the Funk? Wasn't she paying for one vehicle already?
There are more questionable purchases. On the 13th, Carol is paying for ciggys or pot, she does not smoke, from Up In Smoke shop. Sometime that Fall or Winter, Sonya admitted to her brother that she was smoking weed. I don't remember the excuse, it doesn't matter. It was lame. There is also a charge from The Starving Musician. They rent school band instruments. Carol does not play an instrument. Maybe this was for the grandkids.
 There is more shopping and I'm just going to skip through

 

Lot's of 7-11 purchases.

 

Still lotta 7-11.

 

Maybe the deposit of $100K on September 23rd made the bank suspicious. This required reducing the Pershing retirement fund further.

 

Before the conclusion I'll note check #2530 for $3850. When Sonya used Carol's money for getting the house on Calle de Lucia, she had to pay in advance, I'm guessing because Sonya's credit was so low it was in it's own level of Dante's Inferno. Anyway, this check is the monthly rent. So we'll keep an eye on that monthly charge.

In conclusion, this was the bank statement I used to illustrate how Sonya abused their mother to Mike, my husband. I went line by line for all 7 pages of purchases. Mike does not have a head for these sort of things, so simply telling him wasn't getting through. I had to go line by line, so he'd know the stupid, wasteful spending she was engaging in. Just being told is not enough.
