So it started yesterday morning, or rather a month ago when I made a new bank account with a -will not be named- online bank, I had sent in a request through their services to have my direct deposit done through them so I could shut down my other-will not be named- online bank account because that one had been doing some weird things with my money.
My last paycheck went by and it was submitted to the -bad- bank account again, i contacted payroll and they were like "we didn't get a direct deposit for that bank?" So i called that bank
I sat on hold for an hour.
They said it was a mix up on their end and to expedite the process they would email me the dorect deposit slip to send to payroll myself. Said they sent it right then.
I stayed up and waited for hours. No email.
I finally gave up and went to bed, told Jake, if I don't have the email by tonight I'm saying fuck it with all of these online banks, im opening a real bank account with a local branch and I'm deleting all of these stupid accounts.
Again, no email.
So the next day I applied for a bank at a local branch, they said it was $5 to open an account. I didn't really have $5 to spare but I can't have my money messed with anymore.
I got a call from that bank today, because of some past bank issues I didn't qualify for the $5 account. I told them no worries but it will have to wait till payday.
Went to check the mail, disappointed, only to find that my credit card had finally came in the mail.
Called them back, did the bank stuff, opened my account, drove down to the branch and they had my new debit card there waiting for me.
Easy. No waiting. Nothing.
-sigh of relief-
I was so excited to have the account open that I forgot about the direct deposit stuff. Woops.
It's too late to change it for this paycheck, but I'm gunna stop in there on my next days off and get the direct deposit stuff sorted so I can finally be done with these stupid online banks messing around with my money
I also stopped and got myself a yummy flavored tea because why not?
It actually turned out to be a good day but by the time I was done I was overstimulated and just exhausted from... pretty normal adulting so I relaxed a bit before cleaning the kitchen.
Jake made Alfredo though so yummy dinner to top off a pretty good day

Because of my autism money is an issue that has always escaped me.
When I was younger and had first moved out my mom would take my paycheck, pay my bills, then tell me what I had left over for whatever else I needed
Then after that it was all boyfriend's controlling the money
Jake is trying his hardest to teach me how to do my own money things and like... give me some sort of control (even though the only bill that I'm actually in control of at the moment is my phone bill) it has been really hard figuring out this banking stuff and like... everything to do with money management to be honest.
I'm making steps in the right direction, even if they are small steps 😅
Small step's are better then none.
