Lesson Learned

I wrote and mailed 2 checks Saturday morning. I counted on the direct deposit due us July 1 to cover them both. That assumption cost us $15.

The one check which was mailed to Michigan was presented for payment June 30. Amazingly quick, don't you think? Should have held off mailing it as it wasn't due until later this week.

Our checking and passbook savings accounts at our local bank (a national bank now) are linked with over draft protection. That's why the $15 fee.

It's all on me. Now to explain it to Bob.

'til later
