recently I watched a commercial on tv that talked about how money has changed… it made me laugh as it has gone from being something that went into a piggy bank, to being paper you saved, to not being visible at all…

right now more and more places are not taking cash… it is becoming the new normal as stores do not want unsanitary money passing through their system…

I pulled out some old money; some of our current cash; and credit and debit cards…

I didn’t even dig out a cheque… something I used for many years, but barely do now…

I think about how we can put cheques into the bank by taking photos of them… how we pay bills and receive money electronically… how we send and receive money by eTransfer…

is this the final step to us becoming a cashless society…

trifecta…

been laughing all evening…

in October I upgraded my Costco membership thinking it would result in a bit of a refund…

recently I’ve talked with many people asking about their Costco refunds and been rather ticked that I didn’t get one… each person advised they had received a cheque in the mail…

today I finally got around to calling to see what was going on… they were obviously busy because I was on hold for quite some time…

eventually, I spoke with a lovely woman… she advised that the cheque was on the second page of my renewal letter… which came weeks ago… and which I opened but didn’t look at the second page, lol…

she was very kind and we laughed together over the whole thing… what a sweet woman… not a single person mentioned it came with the renewal letter…

I’ve also been waiting for an invoice from my amazing tax preparer but hadn’t seen one…

this afternoon my refund cheque arrived which reminded me to call to find out how much I owed them, but they were closed… then I searched through my email to see if I could find anything and came across an email with the invoice in it… it came minutes after the original one with my results… too funny…

and then, for the trifecta, I tried to open my new online app and deposit the cheque into my account, using my phone… I used an old password and eventually was blocked from the site… called the bank and I have to wait until tomorrow for it to reset… then I can try again, as I now remember the correct password, lol…

the estate of the late…

American money, big girl pants, cheque, cruise, George, insurance, Rona, the estate of the late

received a cheque last week from the CRA… it was a refund for 2012 taxes for George… next year I won’t need to have a tax form done for him…

cheque...

cheque…

after work tonight I stopped in at the Credit Union to deposit the cheque into the Estate Account as I don’t have a debit card for that account…

a few weeks ago I received a couple of cheques from Sun Life made out to the Estate as well… they are providing medical/dental coverage for me for a two year period through Rona where George worked… whenever they send anything it is always to the Estate… most people only have an Estate account for a year but I will need to keep this one for the next couple…

I am still in a state of flux because my employer’s insurance company will not take me on, as I refused the insurance when I started working there, as George’s insurance was quite good… we had gone through a period where we both had insurance and it caused nothing but hassles, so I gave that insurance up and only used his, which worked very well…

now I have to get this sorted out before next March… another job for those big girl pants… no doubt it will involve many phone calls with a variety of people… not looking forward to the process…

been missing George a fair bit lately… I talk about him a lot, which can sometimes freak people out, but I don’t want to just leave him out of my life… he is still an important piece of it… I lived longer with him, than without him…

but I did get some American money for the cruise…
