Well, I am so spitting mad at myself. I forgot that my insurnace was coming out of my account. So, I went into Over-draft. Cost me $5.00. I usually check my bank account daily, but for the past few days I have not bothered. So, I went to the bank yesterday and took out $20. I was already in O/D, but another transaction cost me $5.00. So, I've lost out on $10.00 because I have not been paying enough attention.

I am going to spend some time getting organized this week-end. I can't afford mistakes like that.

(((Tara))), I have definitely been there and it's hard not to beat yourself up, but $10 isn't a bad price for a valuable lesson! I just started keeping track of our main account today, so that's not the least bit condescending and please don't take it that way, LOL.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, but as the others said, it could have been much worse! I find during the holidays that I tend to get lazy about checking my accounts. I have to keep track of things much, much better this year!
