My 64 Dollar mistake or how Halo 2 cost me $80.

Hmmm... the money thing... I made a mistake this week that cost me a decent chunk of money unnecessarily. I noticed that my checking account was getting low so I transfered some from my savings to cover it until monday (payday). The mistake was not checking to see if it went through before using the check card. Apparently I didn't click the button that made the transaction final (online banking) and I ended up overdrawing my checking account with two transactions so I was charged two fines. Argh. Usually, I have a decent amount of padding in that account but I had an extra tax bill last month. Oh well, my mistake. It just kind of put me in a bad mood today, but there isn't much I can do about it now.

Okay, how does that relate to Halo 2? Well, the game came out on Tuesday this week. Sam's club had it for $45 or so. My room mates and I decided to split the cost three ways. I was the one who bought it and that is the transaction that put me in the red.

($46.xx/3)+($32 fees * 2) = $80

I hate math.
