Deluxe hobo tricks and tips
When in a group pay with the credit card and collect the cash from the others. You would have avoided this way the steep bank fee for withdrawing cash at the ATM. Worry about interest later. Live more in the now. Be bold. Have cash. Never lack small change again.
Inspiration
By the time I hit the ATM I had not remembered the pin, but it all came to me when I touched the keys as if it were magic.
OUTRAGEOUS
199 USD vs. 259 - 489 euro +VAT + one or two year subscription. This is the death of marketing.
Goodbye, my plastic life!
One of the somehow most expected birthday presents this year was the expiration of my identity card. Now, call me an enthusiast, but I am looking forward to the thick paper trail laying ahead and to the amount of actual physical effort needed so that the state authorities invest me with a new functional convention: my brand new, perfectly identical document, proving my identity based on domicile (say what? domicile!).
By order of consequence, I am saying, at least for a while, goodbye to my debit/credit existence. Hello cash, again.
That’s because one of the banks, let’s call it the evil one, is freezing my account starting the 31st day after the expiry and until the moment I manage to provide a valid photo ID that includes the residence address. Evil and stupid. We’ll see if banks are at least as stupid when it comes to me paying them back money I owe them. My guess is yes. Cause the last time I did this they asked for my identity card. And that was, of course! at the dull bank
Between these two there is little left, but wait! A third contestant: the we’d-love-to-but-we’re-sorry bank! They first offered me a free of charge card, even sent me the PIN, but now are withholding the activation until said identity card is, you guessed it! issued.
All these while I have not ceased to exist AND I still have other valid photo identity documents, such as the passport and the drivers license.
Welcome to redtape country. Let me show you to your form!
