Dear So and So

[LBTC]

Dear Bank of America,

When I electronically transfer money from my account to go towards my B of A Visa, I notice it immediately disappears from my checking account but takes 2 effing days to appear on my Visa. WTF do you think you are doing with MY money for 2 days?

Sorry to say, Wahine, but all of the banks do this. And do you know what they are doing with your money? They are investing and making interest on it. The interest they charge us isn't enough! Can you imagine how much they collectively invest every day? And how much interest that gets them? Seriously, if you ever have money to invest, buy bank stocks.

See if you can get a line of credit for your renovations, instead. Credit cards are notorious for calmly explaining...we are not a bank account. We don't treat your money as a deposit on future charges.

Good luck with your renovations!!

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

Well that's what sorta burns me. When I was in Canada and had an RBC account and an RBC Visa, when I paid my visa it came up as an immediate transfer from one account to another. I don't remember there ever being a delay unless I was paying a bill to someplace outside of my bank.

Thanks for the good wishes on the renos. We're doing a serious reno. Read - we're building a custom house!!

I do not recommend this for the faint of heart. Yikes, I'll be broke before it's all over. But hey, it's going to be on heck of a house. Designed by outdoor enthusiasts for outdoor enthusiasts. We move in late April or early May.

Dear gods of construction,

Please let my house be finished soon. At least let me have a functional laundry room in the next few weeks.

Thanks.

My credit union credits stuff like that immediately. Maybe look into a credit union rather than a bank?

[Wahine]

Thanks for the suggestion Knott. I'll be looking into a bunch of different options once the house is finished and we can settle in.

Dear All of you that helped to ruin my day,

I tried, I really tried to be calm, mature and resonable all day. You win. I give up.

Signed,

Out of tissues

I'm so sorry, it sounds like you had a terrible day. I wish I could hand you a tissue through cyberspace.

Wahine, I think you just did. Cella, did you get that? {{{{{{Cella}}}}}}}}

Thank you so much for caring. Today is a new day and will be much better I'm sure!
