Over Thanksgiving weekend I had the pleasure of having my car towed for an unexpected $150 charge. Because I'm really smart and have all my money online, I overdrew from my bank account and my current balance is $-2.24.
So the question is this. Should I go out today and charge more stuff to my credit card and go even further into the red? Is this a good idea? I really want some sushi, and as things stand I have zero money, zero gas, and zero food. So my card is my only hope for survival. Or perhaps I will go hungry today. Weird. I hope you find my predicament as hilarious as I do. fwiw, two cashouts should hit Monday morning, so it's not like I'll be in the red for more than even a day. |

you're gonna get hit with an overdraft fee unless you have overdraft protection (look into that).
so you might as well continue charging stuff, the fee will be assessed if your -.01 or -1000.00 |

Also, netteller debit card is the [censored] for situations like this. You just have to wait 2-3 hours till you can get your money.

Yeah, just keep overdrawing; just keep in mind they will charge you $35 for each instance.

No, dont, every purchase you make will come with a 20-30$ fee, so even if you spend 10$ on lunch it will end up costing you about 40$. 'spensive food. Go to a grocery store, buy some gum and get 100$ cash back with a check.

[/ QUOTE ] I believe all the major banks around here (bank of america, usbank etc), charge a per transaction fee. If you over draft your account, once you are in the red, every transaction is assessed a fee, not just 1 fee for being negative. edit- Im positive USbank charges a fee per trans, because I just switched over to them, and kept a small balance (100$) while my Bank of America account got all my checks cleared etc, and I accidently wrote about 10 checks to my USbank account, becaue I grabbed the wrong book. Ive never over drafted my BoA account |
