I
called my bank, Wachovia, regarding a monthly charge I was receiving for using the Quicken software. It was called a “Personal Finance Software Monthly Service Fee.”
To be honest with you, I don’t understand why they charge a fee for using some other vendor’s software, but so be it. I barely used my Wachovia bank account so month after month I was charged $5.95 for Quicken. Additionally, because of the type of account I had I was charged $2 per month because I didn’t have direct deposit.



My 2 Cents


This morning I was awakened by the telephone. Since it is a weekday, my first thought was must be an emergency somewhere and my husband's office was closed or the kids didn't have school. Why else would my phone ring at 6:30 in the morning?
