[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 457704, member: 135"] Geeze, what is it? Are the stars misaligned or what? I messed up this week too. I have two checking accounts (long story). Real estate taxes were due for my house and difficult child 2's house so I wrote the check and deducted it from the total but planned not to send it in till the last minute. Other account had $16. So I went to the grocery store, planning to spend $15 but when I got the bill it was 24 so I wrote the check anyway, knowing I hadn't sent in the taxes yet. Well, guess what...I wrote the tax check on the other account so that meant I was overdrawn so I got socked with a $25 fee (at least they did pay the check). So my $24 worth of groceried, that I probably could have done without, ended up costing me almost $50. That is the first time I've done something like that in years but it really makes me mad. And the worst part is, I have an extra $1000 in the other account ... you are supposed to keep that balance to get a few perks which I never use anyway. Guess my brain was fried. Must be the weather or the planets or a brain virus going around or something like that,,, seems we all have it. [/QUOTE]
