Screwed up the checkbook big and dh is not..

[jamie79]

happy with me nor am I happy with myself. To the tune of over $200. Thankfully nothing will bounce but I forgot to deduct the life ins. for the last 3 months. Its an automatic withdrawel and I forgot to record it. Not a good time of yr to do this either. Christmas will be less because of it and money till the first will be less.

I've done this before myself and now I balance my checking accounts every day. Those automated withdrawls are a real time saver, but they can be a headache at times too. I'm glad nothings bouncing though.

my mistake usually ends up being that ADDED in a check instead of subtracting it....One time I did it for a 350.00 check - OUCHIE a 700.00 mistake. Fortunatley for us, although we are immensely frugal, we are of the "higher income kith", so it did not cause any problems, just headaches!
Sorry about your mistake - that's no fun at all...........betcha don't make that one again, eh?

[nodmicks]

Ugh! Well your only human. I'm sure glad nothing will bounce on you. I know it is so frustrating. Sorry!

[SammiesMammie]

I feel your pain..it must be the rush of the holidays, or something, as I just checked my account and it seems that I too have "forgotten" about a payment..(more like DH didn't tell me that he spent an extra 90.00 on something???) Maybe he actually went Christmas shopping on his own???

Oh well, thanks to FV and DR..I too have it covered Don't feel down about forgetting, it's in the air!

[Katybird]

Don't be too hard on yourself. We all make mistakes and you will be back on track soon.

[baxjul]

It'll alll work out okay!


My dh gets mad when I do that too, then one time he did it, and I LMAO!

[lwlynch]

atleast it all worked out.. dont be too hard on yourself.. just brush yourself up and remember you are human too.

To quote a Sesame Street song:

"Everyone makes mistakes, oh yes they do, Your sister and your brother and your dad and mother too, Big people, small people, matter of fact, all people, Everyone makes mistakes, so why can't you?"

Happens to the best of us.

[yonksgirl]

I am gald to hear it worked out! It happens to all of us!

[onencgirl]

I've been there and done that. Thank goodness nothing bounced for you.

[Dixie]

Jamie, don't beat yourself up.

[toile]

Don't feel bad we all do it at least once.

Hey do you do online banking?
I balance my checkbook every day now , its so cool.
My bank was like the last bank on earth to get this LOL.

[mikandmari]

Hey! At least nothing bounced!! One time I entered a pay deposit twice. I overdrew the account and had to pay over $100 in fees. Yuck!

[geckoace]
