As I did my finances this afternoon, I found my checking account was being siphoned through my bankcard. That's the fourth time in two years. This one was the worst yet, draining hundreds of dollars from my account, all for Starbucks gift cards. I'm guessing these would be sold for pure profit. I'm glad I caught the scam before the thieves bounced me into negative territory. If my account reaches zero, I go from poor to destitute, and homelessness becomes a real possibility. The fraud department told me I won't lose anything.
Hey, you guys, please scam someone with money next time. I know that sounds terrible, like Ben Carson directing the stick-up man to the cashier. The poor don't have the resources to protect themselves, and thieves go after easy targets faster than hard ones.
It comes as a relief. I saw my account was dropping. I'm being really austere this month, determined to have a surplus. So, no money for dining. The beer I buy a week? I cut it out. I found a few other places I could save money.
I'm still following through with it though. I think I've got a good thing going here.
