I'm going to my year-end football party, where I have to dish out some cash.
Of course, I wait until Sunday AM to use the ATM. I need about $400, but the freakin' machine has a daily limit of $300. WTF???

I guess it's for my own safety, but there are instances when I need to get out more cash than that.

Banks R Bitches.

daaamn....what kind of football party are you going to shell hundreds of dollars.

Yeah, I went to buy a digital camera and took out (in Thai baht) what I thought would be about my limit of 200 pounds. Then the camera I wanted was about 5 pounds more than I had on me! I went back and managed to squeeze out another 5 pounds, but not without being charged a fee of 2 pounds for an overseas transaction. Two withdrawals on the same day, which cost me about 4 pounds 50. In Thailand that's enough for dinner for two.

I run a fantasy football league. Last year, some of the winners took money out of their winnings to pre-pay for this year.

How the hell am I supposed to hold onto $200 without spending it for a whole year??? Every year it's the same thing. You'd think I'd learn by now.

So every year I'm putting in about $300-$400 to make up for that money. (In Jan - ie, right after Christmas!)

i figure the economy lives off u spending
but they gotta control it too

cuz if u get in 2 deep..that's when the debt-free people come in
and screw things up for the economy


then again...i know nothing about the economy and how it works so i could be totally talking out of my ass right now, but i'm bored just like the rest of us so

cheers

I hate this too. ITS MY MONEY DAMNIT!!

ATM users are suceptible to being held up. Isnt it nice to know that you are only physically able to give your attacker say $300 of your $100000 savings? or that if your card gets stolen, the amount u stand to lose is capped and it grants u a day to cancel your card? every cloud has a silver lining

ATM's...Why the HELL do they have Daily limits?

Poor people like me I think

That's why you need a 2nd account. I've got 2 accounts at the same bank with 2 different ATM cards. You can also use a credit card for a cash advance (I wouldn't).
