Check and re-check!

Do you think that your credit card statement is 100% accurate?
Do you just pocket whatever amount of change you get from the cashier after they ring your purchase?

Check, and recheck guys!












My bank charged me a balance transfer interest which, after I confirmed with the customer representative, was apparently a mistake. I am a very cautious about these stuff, so I thought it might be a great idea to share this with you (especially if you are a kind of person who just pay whatever amount you think you are suppose to pay!). Sometimes the amount they charge you appears to be negligence, but hey, I am a student. I hate to waste my money like that!

This also reminds me how, when traveling, the cashier often gives me wrong changes. They might be a newbie so they don't know how to do their job properly. If that's the case - that's still OK with me. But you'll never know if they do it because they want to cheat the tourists!

I used to believe in a "just world". Now I don't. People do cheat, intentionally or unintentionally.

hmm, the problem in indo is, i don't even know how to count the change anymore, too many paper money
10,000 paper has almost the same color as 100,000 paper
