delenntoo	12:14p	Financial Recovery ... almost? Just an update (for anyone vaguely interested) - A wonderful friend loaned me some money, the bank *finally* refunded 1 of the 5 overdraft fees, the Employee Council emergency fund at work gave us $300 for our electric bill, and pay day finally arrived so that the strain was lessened and groceries were bought. Now I'm trying to scrape up money (through judicious use of grocery funds) to buy a few last-minute small gifts, then I can breathe a sigh of relief for a few days before it is back to tackling the bills. All I can say is God (through a few good friends) is faithful! Thanks again, faithful friends! (2 Comments |Comment on this)

delenntoo	1:11a	I hate banks! I accidentally overdrew my account due to a formula error in my Excel budget sheet. That caused a domino effect of more checks bouncing, more charges being assessed and lowering my balance so that still *more* checks bounce - you probably get the picture. I have been charged $105 in the past two days, called the bank to see if they would reverse any of them (no, they won't). Now tonight my online banking account shows *2 more* overdraft charges pending! This is so ridiculous. Apparently there is no legal limit on the number of overdraft charges a bank can assess in one day. My one mistake is going to cost me $165 that I definitely do *NOT* have laying around. That is pretty much my grocery money for the next 10 days. So, do you hate banks now too? I don't know what I'm gonna do. Okay, rant over. Thanks for listening. Current Mood: annoyed (Comment on this)
