Re: i need a better bank
i ------- hate banks. I overdrew my account without knowing it because a check hadn't cleared yet, and the charged me 3 overdraft fees at $37 a pop. So I called to see if I could have at least two of them dropped seeing as one was for like a dollar and the other maybe $4, but they said they could only drop one. Then, when I bitched at her about how ------- retarded it is to charge people for overdrafting and that the card shouldn't even let you overdraft, she told me that she could make it so my card wouldn't ever overdraft, the card just wouldn't work if there wasn't enough money in the account. WTF
? That should have been set up in the first place. ---- banks, they want your money just as much as anyone else does.

Re: i need a better bank
Weekend, so Monday/Tuesday? That's just savings. I like to keep enough cash around the house to be able to deal with something catastrophic in an emergency, so enough to cover my car or to at least pick up a $300 beater if need arises. Figure its a 50/50 split between the stock market and liquid cash. Think that is a pretty safe bet in times like these. By the way, a while ago I posted gas was gonna drop because of a bunch of international market ----, and guess what, then I was paying $3.02 for regular, now I pay $2.67

Re: i need a better bank
well $25k a year is pretty good around here aspecially for a 22 year old. this is my first real job outside of the food industry and im loving it. and thats just base pay, lots of pay raises about once a year for the next 8 years. plus full medical, dental, eye care and all those benifits. and paid vacation/ sick time. plus its actully a pretty damn cool job. only problem is im 6 foot 180 pounds blonde hair blue eyes and im not an ugly dude so im always being stared at. i cant even scratch my nuts in private without some girl watching me like a hawk.
