I have several large online purchases set up on Amazon. My wife's anniversary, birthday presents, a few bottles of Dom Perignon, three live Maine lobsters, and donation to the United Way.

I figure if I hit the purchase button on my cart in that extra second, the system won't recognize the billing cycle as June OR July. Nice huh? How can a person be required to pay for something in a time period that was just added arbitrarily?

Or, I may using my extra second to create a personal finance disaster.
