also, have a look at my sock combo today. inspired by you!

My rent check is going to bounce this month -- how embarrassing ...

I totally fucked up my cash flows this month and now I'm just barely short on cash after all my bills and credit card expenses were paid for. Definitely not going to liquidate any of my stocks to pay for this so I guess I'll have to suck it up and get hit with the bounce fees.

Dammit!

So please tell me you're not a financial consultant.

I'm not.

I got overzealous and bought more shares of stock than I should have

Isn't that sort of the point of the credit card...you don't *have* to pay it all

Seems better than bouncing your rent check.

Yeah.. well all my bills get posted before my rent check and it wasn't until now that I just realized my rent was going to bounce.. otherwise I would have done as you suggested.

Oh well. Gotta pay a $100 fee but that's about it. If only I had bought one less share of AAPL.. dammit. I guess the silver lining in this scenario is that the ROI on my reckless investing covers the $100 penalty and more.

GF - you are a big boy now. gotta get that shit straight, son.

Why wouldn't you sell a share of something? Trading fees are less than $100...

In the future, learn to keep a cash buffer that will pay at least 1 month's rent+utilities+CC. Hell--start charging yourself an overdraft fee if you ever drop below that (move your "fee" into savings or donate it to a charity..or send it to me) if it will keep you in line.

No shit. Putting every available penny into the market is a pretty bad idea.

Am I the only one here whose bank offers overdraft protection?

If I overdraft my account, it hits a credit card automatically (and for free). Don't get me wrong, I'm not the type to overdraft my account, but it's a nice feature to have in case I do make a mistake.

Mrs. A. broke the dimmer switch on our bedroom chandelier just as we were going to bed - it still dims, but doesn't turn off completely. Time for me to learn some basic electrical repair!

MrG - i have that linked to my savings account, not a card. but as far as i know, they do charge a fee when that happens.

careful! i know a guy who shocked himself across the room, messing with a chandelier.

Man, I am big-tymz, bring a certain swagger to my financial dealings. I kill what I eat, ain't need no overdraft protection. FACT!

When I got my new work computer, I lost access to a local version of our time entry software. In order to have to purchase less user licenses, I would have to use the time entry software as a published application on Citrix. Not a huge deal--I have to log in and click on it instead of just running it on my computer, but otherwise it ran pretty much like a normal program.

Now they have removed it from the list of published applications. Apparently some users had problems (I saw them too but they were minor for non-dumb people...things like not automatically opening in the home screen so you have to click the button for the home screen)...

Now I have to log into citrix, load up a full citrix desktop, log in to that, then go find the time software in the start menu, log into that, and then enter my time. I used to think it didn't make any sense to have my admin enter my time for me since it would take as long to type it out in an email to her as it would to just type it into the software...but now I am seriously reconsidering it.

A small fee is better than a large fee! It sounds like froggy is going to deal with a real bounce ("returned check") rather than just an overdraft
