This month we had a big "oops" happen to our checking account. A combination of our first non-deployment paycheck, the timeshare payment (which is about half of that paycheck), buying uniforms for Todd's new training battalion, a last minute trip to North Carolina to look into the housing situation and forgetting to transfer his uniform allowance into the checking account. Sigh.
A major fail on all parts.
Overdraft charges ensued. We couldn't transfer any of the money that was sitting in share on the same account. We live across the country from a physical branch, and Katie cried.
We called customer service and they reversed 5 of the 7 overdraft charges, but she couldn't make the transfer either. She was able to point us in the direction of a share branch that could do it for us.
Sigh.
It was a nightmare.
After this move is finished, we need to rework the budget and see how much money we can throw at the timeshare.
