Stupid Money Tricks

No Diving

In my zeal to get rid of all my ‘excess’ bank accounts, I forgot one small detail…the mortgage comes out of the ING checking account.  I had already transferred all the money out when the December payment posted, or at least tried to post.  Of course, ING rejected the payment and sent me an e-mail.  When I get home tonight, I’ll log on to the mortgage site and see what the damage is.  I’m pretty sure it will be at least $25 for a returned payment.  Doh!

Have you made any stupid money mistakes lately?

    I bought something from Staples recently and instead of selecting the $50 visa debit card as my rebate, I chose the Staples $50 gift card. Now I have to use that money at Staples, but I may be buying a camera anyway. Just a hassle, and I hate having gift cards.
