Another rude awakening this morning. Gail took a look at the bank balances — and they didn’t balance. We all know who — and what — the problem is. Bill sees something he wants to get… usually related to his website or some way to promote his book. He whips out the card or logs onto Pay Pal! Badda Bing! He does the deal.
The problem is… he FORGETS to MARK IT DOWN, then forgets to put it on the CHECK REGISTER, then forgets about it ALL TOGETHER!
Problem solved. I gave my card to Gail today. I closed my Pay Pal account. (I kept open the one that folks can donate to, but I can’t take the money from it… all I can do is transfer it to my two charities.)
It’s a good thing Gail caught this when she did. I just can’t be trusted with the finances any more.
