Everybody has some, most want more. What sort of world do we live in were the pre-requisite of living is to have money. I was in grade 2 when the taught me the barter system, which is the basis of all money exchange. One PS3 is worth 2 weeks of part time work, or 1 week of full time work, or half my rent. Which is the same as 2 months of groceries for one person, or 857 packs of the old Juicy Fruit. That's a lot of gum. I've paid more than twice the price of a PS3 in NSF fees these past 12 months, and a whopping $217 in the past 2 months. I paid the full price of a PS3 to my mobile phone company because of one week in Cambridge. I've also paid enough at 7-eleven this past year to pay for half a PS3.
You know looking at my trends on Mint.com has really made me aware of where all my money is going. And I've noticed I'm paying way too much to my bank in NSF fees all because I'm too impulsive and pay my bills too early. If I just waited till the companies that take out the money on there own are finished, I can pay off a bunch of others without incurring more NSF fees. The only problem now is the negative balance on my bank accounts.
