She is in another state and I will pay her bills from FL. Main decision for me is to decide if I should deposit an 'allowance' (for personal items) into an out of state acct. Problem is she doesn't keep track of what she spends, and I don't want her to overdraw. She has dementia (getting worse) but is physically o.k. I wish there was some sort of easy 'refillable' card to get for her. Just trying to take care of her the best I can.
As to overdraft. I wonder if you could change a credit card into a debit card with no overdraft.

I'm sure you are not the only one with this problem. Perhaps, you could go to your bank and ask for advice.

You do not say it BUT, your issue is with your heart and soul. You probably need help from a human as opposed to a computer. WHERE-sorry I don't know but, you church, temple, bank should be able to direct you.
