Bank Advice

Money goes out (car, rent) and money comes in (bank)


Round here they call receipts ‘advice’. So the automatic teller asks if you’d like advice. I always wonder if one day the little slip of paper will emerge that reads ‘Don’t spend so much!’. It never does.

On another banking note, I always spend everything on available on my credit card. Then they raise the limit, and I spend that amount. I hate them, yet I never turn the money down. It’s horrid. My entire life I have been making more money but remaining a constant level of broke. Whatever money I get, I spend. That is, the percentage I spend is a constant 100%. Actually, more like 150% since, as a ‘responsible adult’, I get access to credit. Wish the ATM would give me some advice about that.

So true about money, and the credit card limit. Several years ago I had to practically beg a private bank to get a Credit card with 20,000 limit. Now at least they have realized the potential and turned the situation around, begging us to use their credit cards.

I always felt a damn shame if I EVER ran out of money at a shop or store, and having a credit card does really maintain your cool and avoid shame [don't know why but I can't help the feeling shame part]

A lot of things can be said about a person by examining his car keys.

Car, gate, flat, parents’ house, old flat (really should return).

Well, considering the inflation rate, it makes more sense to spend than to hang onto money that is just going to decrease in value. Depressing.
