Money SUCKS!
GAR!!! I hate banks. I hate them all. They are all evil and demented, sick twisted organizations to create a false sense of security with your money, just to totally fuck with you whenever they want!!!
Here's the deal. About two months ago, my paycheck was about thirty dollars shy of what it normally was. That normally isn't so bad, however, I've recently become aware of the fact that my father or someone in my family (I assume it's Dad) has been dipping in and out of my account. Now, he always puts back what he takes out, but it's a few days later, and I formerly was not the paranoid type to check my account every single day. Anyway, during one of these time lapses, where my father had taken some out, but hadn't put any back in yet, a check got returned, which has caused tension between my roommate and I. On top of that, our third roommate is moving out, so all of my bills are costing more money than I didn't have to begin with.
Now, here's the bank bit that I hate. I have sold stuff, worked extra hours, and finally got my bank balance back to where it was normally at this point of the month. So, me being paranoid, I check my balance online, I've checked it online about twenty times since finding out my father (or other family members) do what they do. And I see an Overdraft Fee on there...after a DEPOSIT! Then, when I took money out to clear things up with my roommate, there was another Overdraft Fee...one that wouldn't have been there without the first Overdraft Fee. I got charged to put money INTO the frickin' account?! GAAAHHH. The worst part is that I need $14.00 so I can get TABC certified tomorrow for my new second job that I'm excited about going to...and I can't withdraw money because the hole just keeps getting deeper. I just don't get it. I've e-mailed the bank, I'll talk to them first thing in the morning, but this is just insane. Now it feels like ANY transaction I make, putting money in or taking it out, is going to cost me $33.00!
Banks Suck. Money is the root of all evil. Actually, not having money is the root of all evil. Things would be just great if money was taken out of the picture. Seriously. I wouldn't be pissed at my family. I wouldn't feel like crap whenever I'm around my roommate. I wouldn't have to worry about getting TABC certified, and I wouldn't have any other problem that I can think of in my life right now. I know they say money can't solve all your problems, but it sure can solve mine.
I know I'll get through this, but I'm just curious...if it's always darkest before the dawn, am I at that point, or is it going to get darker before it gets better??
