The moment of truth. Many of us avoid it when the time comes, while many of us also look forward to it. "It" being the time of checking your bank account. Whether it's to pay a bill or make sure your paycheck went through, there are few things that top the anticipation that comes as you wait for your account balance to load. Here are some thoughts that go through our minds when the dreaded and well awaited time comes.
1. When the countdown for payday is finally over.
I'll admit there are times I wait until midnight for that direct deposit to hit.
2. And then you realize payday is actually next week.
I have shed a few tears over this.
3. When the paycheck finally kicks in.
Cue happy dance.
4. Going to check your account and seeing a number significantly lower than you expected.
Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.
5. Triple checking and thinking, "How did I spend that much?!"
Maybe I got a little too ambitious when shopping.
6. When you unexpectedly earn cash back.
Life is beautiful.
7. When that check from your birthday finally deposits.
Shout out to you, Grandma. You're the real MVP.
8. And then you realize your credit card bill is almost due.
It was nice while it lasted.
9. Sobbing as you transfer money between accounts.
Gone, but not forgotten.
10. The mini heart attack when you mistype your password and think you've been hacked.
Talk about an adrenaline rush.
11. But then you realize you're broke so even if they did, the joke is on them.
At least I did something right. Kind of.
