Citibank, where is my money???

I am so ticked right now. I made an online transfer from my credit union checking account to my Citibank savings account last Thursday for $500. I received an email confirmation and everything. It usually takes 3 business days for the transfer to go through. But Citibank withdraws the $500 from my checking account the very next day (25th). Ok fine. I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is that Citibank still shows my balance at $151.10. WTF? It is now 4 days later from the date they withdrew the money from my account and still nothing. So I call them to inquire about my money. This dude tells he has no record of any recent or pending transfer on my account. OH HELL NAW!!!!

(breathe.....breathe.....breathe)

After I basically let him have it he proceeds to hang up on me. LOL. I don't even blame him. I can get a little nasty when it comes to people playing round with my money. *Grrrr* Anyways I call back and speak to the another rep. She was able to find the dang on transfer and it's status. Seems like it takes Citibank 3 days for the money to show up on their side. Even if they withdrew the money from your other account already. Does this not seem a lil awkward? I am not use to seeing money gone from one end and not show up on the other. Its always been either or. Either its still in my credit union account or it has been withdrawn and now shows up in my savings account. Never just chilling in the middle of space somewhere.

Oh well. I was told the deposit should show up tomorrow or Wednesday. I am not too happy with Citibank. Seeing that I have already received my bonus from them I may just close my account and open up one with HSBC or another company that is giving a bonus.

Home Purchase Plan - How I faired

Back in January I developed my Home Purchase Plan (HPP for short). I listed exactly what I was looking for in my new home including my needs and wants. I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent. I had a momentary relapse (I'll explain more on that on another post) but got back on track and stuck to my guns. I ended up with a beautiful house that fits all my needs and wants. HOME PURCHASE PLAN The home I want: Price: $0 -> $190,000 $180,000 Ideal Monthly Mortgage (including taxes, PMI, HOA, & hazard) : $1200 (max $1300) $1310 Location: Surrounding Orlando Area Check Bedrooms: 3+ 4 Bathrooms: 2+ 2 Square footage: 1700 s.f. + 1810 sf Year Built: 2000+ 1998 HOA: $100/month max $150/yr NEEDS: * A-rated school district Check * Quick access to major highways Check * Good daycare Check * Nice...

My $100 grocery budget and tips for saving on your grocery bill

I did a post back in October on how I kept my grocery budget under $120. In that post, I had pictures of the grocery shopping I had done earlier in the day for a total of $29.76. I also listed a number of ways I keep my grocery budget so low. Today I did some grocery shopping for meat and some other misc items. Here is what I bought: - 2 packages of chicken breasts - 2 packages of drumsticks - 2 whole hens - 2 packages of chicken wings - 1 bag of roma tomatoes - 1 bag of onions - 1 bag of organic baby carrots - 2 gallons of water (not shown) - 1 bottle of bbq sauce Total = $24.90 One big way to save on groceries each month is to package the food you buy into servings sizes. Your serving size depends on how many people are in your family. I separate out my sizes based on how much food my daughter and I consume in one meal. Take for instance drumsticks: My daughter will eat one drumstick while I will eat two. So I package those in threes. I know some folks are visual so here is wh...
