online banking

I wrote about online banking last July. Having just paid some more bills and needing a topic, it is back to more appreciation for the miracle of online banking.

Like most people back in the time prior to online banking, I would pay my bills once a month. It worked well for the most part. There were problems with a stack of bills making messy desk, prematurely discarded bills leading to missed deadlines, lost payment envelopes and a constant need for stamps in ever-changing rates.

Got a letter from Medicare that needed a mailed response yesterday. It was memory blast from the past to have to dig up a stamp and a return address sticky. It was a reminder of how much more I like the online process over snail mail.

I am grateful for the internet, the WWW and online banking. They make my life fantastically better through the miracle of shopping at Amazon Prime.

PS: Went to Fry's in Renton last week. Fry's giant computer parts store along some other devices such as TVs , washers and refrigerators. They had a 100+ different PC cases. None of them were truly directed towards being a sound-dampened silent PC case. Amazon had a dozen models to chose from. Plus, the Amazon prices were about 10% better on the cases that allowed for direct comparison. Online shopping is also good! B&M stores do offer instant gratification.
