      Thanks, I need that.

      Edit: not really, multiple accounts and I’m considered middle-class. This be the joint “bills” account and I’m married so -$50 (cuz beyond is declined) is wife tax.

      My personal account is worse cuz I work nights, wife raids my wallet and it goes -$200 before declining.

      Edit to edit: I’m inebriated please indulge my attempt at humor.

        Nah. I’ve been working on paying off my second mortgage by saving up the money to pay off my second mortgage, and I have like $7,000 left to go.

        But I’m not cashing it all in the instant I get it just in case I lose my job so that I have a fallback. I would rather have money in the bank and a second mortgage than no second mortgage and be broke.

        If I can make it to the end of the year without getting fired, then second mortgage will be done, and I will have a fallback amount of money to cover my expenses for several months, and my cost of living will drop precipitously, to the point where I could live off of minimum wage and a roommate.
