<3 Online Banking
July 26, 2006
You know what’s really great about online banking? It completely eliminates the need for overwithdrawing money from one bank account to deposit into another one! So when I want to deposit exactly $155.70 from my regular checking account to another institution’s savings account I don’t waste a check, I don’t pull out $160, spend $14 of it just because I happen to have cash in my wallet and I don’t lose track of how much one account owes another.
This is especially useful when I’m tracking payments from Sibling for the auto loan, from my little savings scheme and from my random pin monies. Neurotically, I want to see little exact-change shaped footprints from one account to another so I know that my pin money is going to the pins and needles account, that I’m actually saving the savings money and that I’m not shaving little dollars off the sides of Sibling’s car payment. (Yes, I’ve been tempted to. No, I haven’t done it. Yet.)
Oh and I love having multiple accounts.
Yeah, I have the same problem.. that I have $120 to deposit and somehow magically by the time I get to the bank there is only $100..
