Feels Like Friday and why perhaps I ought only to have ONE checking account
June 21, 2007
Perhaps it’s the parents-are-away syndrome. And it’s the first day of summer!!
I paid my parents’ tax bill eons ago, ages ago, and now the IRS is demanding their money. Again. Uh, NO. I really don’t think so. But that means I have to search through my checking accounts for an copy of the check and, most times, I can’t usually recall which checking account was most convenient account to use at the time.
Thank goodness for online check images!! At least I don’t have to fuss until I get home and then risk major papercuts wading through my returned checks. Still, times like these make me wonder if I shouldn’t just use ONE checking account to make my bill paying/referencing life simpler.
That sounds scary – the IRS asking for money after you’ve paid them! I just noticed the online check images with BofA – very nifty feature and scary at the same time because it’s another reminder to me of my rent check – I only write one check a month – that’s for rent. Hope it all works out!
~SFMM~ I know, it sort of threw me for a loop because they cashed the check I sent, and I couldn’t figure out who they had applied the payment to.
