Letters from Sanford Street # 496

I almost want to close my accounts at Citibank. Not because there is any problem with their services, it's just that I'm not getting much out of the banking experience from them, in the sense that, they haven't upgraded my credit card in two review cycles, and I've also had that checking account for over a decade.

And that's also why I hesitate to close the account, I've had the account for over a decade, and, I did get a personal loan through them that did turn out to be extremely helpful in improving my finances during that particular point in my life, and so, I'll really have to think about what to do about that.

I paid that account of extremely early, and I'm sure that they didn't make as much in interest as they would have liked, but, I also have myself to think about, so, honestly, I'm hoping that there weren't too much in terms of hard feelings.

When I think about credit cards, and loans and stuff, I think about interest rates, and, how to minimize how much I'm paying to the bank, anyway. I have all this shit I have to deal with. Disaster. Nightmare. Who knows what's next.

I've been taking Lyft rides to work. There is a signing bonus, apparently, of $2,300.00 dollars to sign-up to drive with them.

I have all the documents that I need for me to do my taxes, I just need to finish transfering money into the Fidelity accounts. Even though I was hesitating to dump money into them because I wanted to hold onto that cash until the last minute, just in case of an emergency, well, not I have had that emergency as a result of my trip to Louisiana. Piece of shit catastrophe.
