The joys of banking

Once upon a time, a woman moved from Colorado to Massachusetts (I had to look up how to spell that!) but kept her Colorado bank account because it had a loan associated with it and it was easier to leave that auto-drafting from the bank account. Anyway, the woman opened a new account in MA so she could pay bills on a local account. She went and updated her credit cards (or thought she did anyway) and started paying them online again. But, not all of them were changed so the money tried to come out of the CO account instead of the MA one. Oops. (Think lots of fees for pulling out more money than was there and having the charges reversed.)

Five months later, the woman still was looking at her checking accounts and wondering what kind of mess she'd created and how to get it fixed. She fixed the Colorado account and discovered that it had a bunch more money than she realized.

Then a couple of weeks later, she sat down and cleaned up the MA account only to discover money there too.

And life was good. Well, except now that money gets to go to the gov't. But it's there to be used so that's better than if there was no money to send to the evil IRS.

Having cleaned up the horrid mess she made of her checking accounts, the woman thought to herself "no more!".

And all was well in the land of checking accounts.

The end.
