Recently, I drove through a McDonald’s drive-thru with the children to get them burgers. While there, it occurred to me that I no longer worry that the card will be declined.
That was not always the case.
It’s not that I am broke. Rather, while married, my ex-wife handled the bank accounts. Time and time again there would be problems with our account. True, sometimes the bank would put a hold on because of suspicious purchases. Many other times, however, it was because there was no money in the account. On more than one occasion I left a McDonald’s drive-thru empty-handed and frustrated because the card was declined.
Why was there no money in the account? I was given story after story. Some true, I am sure. Some I did not believe.
But since I am in control of my money now, not once has this been an issue. One could wonder why one person has issues with this and another has none. I don’t wonder that. I am just thankful I can feel confident anytime I pull out my card to use that it will work.
