Barry,

 BM> Yes.  Was reading the other day what the article classified as poor
 BM> were constantly zinged: if no bank account the person gets charged $7
 BM> (article's number) for check cashing.  So to use easy numbers their
 BM> $100 paycheck is now a little over $90.  Pay a bill by buying a money
 BM> order, there's a fee for that, further chipping away at that paycheck.

  Even they declared these Cash Advance places illegal, they still do it.
It's not worth it, for a 400% or more interest charge.

 BM> OTOH I get money (interest/dividend) because I have money in the bank/
 BM> credit union, get free checking (and whine about paying for a new box
 BM> of checks).....

  I have to pay for my checks, but thankfully, most of my transactions
are done electronically.

 BM> Right.  For me the handwritten entries in the journal seem to help with
 BM> that linking.

  Now, if I could only read my poor handwriting in the check register. <G>

Daryl
