Everybody Loves Your Money

I think alanis morissette wrote a song called ironic. This probably should have been included. Deborah McDonald was hit and killed by a car in northern Ohio on the same day that she received a lottery check for $5520. While that isn’t a huge amount of money, apparently it was more than she’s used to. After going out for drinks and buying wedding rings for her and her husband, she was walking home from a bar when she was struck and killed. Apparently Deborah won the money in Ohio’s Cash Explosion Double Play.

Talk about good luck followed immediately by bad luck.

If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you know that I’m not a huge fan of banks. I used to use banks exclusively and then I discovered credit unions. Without question I still believe if you have a choice between a good solid credit union and a large national bank, you should choose the credit union. Not everyone feels that way. Some people don’t have any choice but to use a bank, and others, as Beks at Blogging Away Debt notes, like the relationship that they’ve established with their bank.

Anyway, go check out Bek’s point of view on banks and see what she has to say. It’s a great blog and definitely worth your time to check out! She may even invite you to a summer BBQ.
