Here's an interresting story for people with credit or debit cards... and a fair warning... look at your balances regularly.
Here's what I found in mine when I looked at it today.
Two weeks ago I had $45 in my account... yah I know... I'm poor... lol.
A week ago I bought gas for $21.
The next day they charged me $25 as an overdraw charge?
$45 - $21 = $24... how am I overdrawed?
Still trying to figure that one out... but anyway. I go on thinking I still have money in my account when actually I'm now -$1.00 because of the overdraw charge of $25.
Couple of days ago I buy some credits for around $20.00 thinking I still had money in my account. So now I'm -$21.
Oh look at that, another over draw charge this time $30... so yah... -$51.
Luckily I checked it today to see just how much I had... was surprised to see that I don't have any, and in fact, am getting charged... and figured they'd charge me again tomorrow. Again luckily for me a relative that I never knew died and left me $300 in his will, so I had that in my pocket. Took a trip to the bank, deposited that... and yay, safe for now with about $250. Ugh, if only I wasn't lazy and went back to the factory for a real job. Anyone wanna buy some paintings? :P
So to close this... look at your statement like daily!
