Convenience isn’t everything

Aug 5, 2008

You know, banks will try to tell you it’s a great idea to consolidate all your accounts in a single place, because then you can manage them easily from one website. Bank with us! Get your car loan with us! Get a mortgage with us!

Yeah, that’s nice.

Not so nice? Knowing you spent more money than usual on the credit card this month, logging into your account, and seeing an amount nearly double what you expected to see even after accounting for the extra spending.

Holy heart attack, Batman!

I was envisioning all sorts of identity theft scenarios when I realized I was looking at the car loan balance.

Ooooohkay. Much better. I am an idiot.

On the plus side, when I clicked the right link to view my credit card bill, the actual amount came as a relief.
