Subj : Emerg. Broadcast Stations To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Jul 08 2020 07:37:00 Hi Daryl! 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. DS> Even they declared these Cash Advance places illegal, they DS> still do it. It's not worth it, for a 400% or more interest DS> charge. Unfortunately right, and if one needs money one is going to find a way to get it somehow. As for the the exorbitant fees, part of that is greed, part of thet is just because they can get away with it. 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)..... DS> I have to pay for my checks, but thankfully, most of my DS> transactions are done electronically. Yes, same here. Like the convenience, plus I know the bill will be paid on a specific date, not maybe several days earlier or later. BM> Right. For me the handwritten entries in the journal seem to help with BM> that linking. DS> Now, if I could only read my poor handwriting in the check DS> register. I also have that problem! Usually print the payee because of the not always legible handwriting. ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® ¯ (Humans know what ® ¯ to remove.) ® ....
