Those Sumbitches!
"According to a Consumer Federation of America study, banks charge 11 to 32 times their actual cost to process a bounced check, and generate $5.2 billion a year in revenue from bounced checks."

(And that was as of January, 2001. It’s higher now with the overnight payment of checks.)
Shop your banks people! Look for the smaller, local bank or credit union rather than the "Big Box" national bank. It’s VERY competitive out there!

I just stuff my money in a mattress. Well I would,…if I had any money. Come to think of it, all my money goes to the bank to pay them for the money they say I owe them. Sumbitches

I’m an idiot, I bank at B of A.

You’re right, the big banks absolutely suck! I love my credit union…they give my checking account interest just to keep money in it! The same % they give my savings account. And if I overdraft, they don’t charge me, they just pull the money out of my savings…no hassel.

RYN: At some point it may hit YOU that it has already, and for many years, HIT ME that I doargue for my brokkenness, and everything I do — everything — is an attempt to force myself to STOP doing that and accept that I am God’s creature; with a greater purpose; an inherent good; & that God LOVES ME regardless. Yet, still, I fail to do that. God MADE ME THIS WAY. He expects this from me!

Thank you so much for your continued concern, Nunz. I feel your good heart in every note. I am TRYING. Surely you must see that I am trying. Every damn day. All my life.

yeah… my former Father In Law never wore a ring either… I am still just stinging from the married man I was involved with that didn’t wear a ring and didnt mention that he was married until AFTER I’d slept with him… So, I’m sorta sorry!

The extent of your advice is limitless. How do people survive without you?
Warning Comment
how ’bout you not bounce a check? Realistically, I realize it happens to the best of us, but come on, it’s not like it’s our money if we pay for something with money that’s not really there. Forgive me for being b*tchy about this 🙂

RYN: Hmmmmmm Considering your diary has been the SAME two bland colors since I’ve known you I’ll chalk your last comment up to jealousy! LOL ~sticks out tongue and runs away~

I don’t like it when people get comfortable with me. It’s smart of you to stay on your guard.

Click the video codes link, find the song you like, and copy and paste the code they give you into the entry, using the source button. I can’t get it to work on the front page, unfortunately. There’s not a huge selection and a lot them don’t work, but hey, it’s still pretty groovy.
