Up yours. AOL has always been an evil POS. I'd get teased for using AOL.

I read through every line of my bank statement every month, as well as every line on my credit card bill. I used to read my bank statement more frequently, but now I don't take the time... I have a close family member that was the victim of someone using his credit card number to make a lot of little purchases, and it wasn't noticed until the thief used the card for a bigger purchase. By then, he couldn't get money back for the hundreds of dollars in small purchases that had built up over a year or two. It's not like that bankrupted him or anything, but still. I don't live paycheck to paycheck anymore, but I certainly don't want anyone except my husband and I to have access to our credit card, and I don't want any companies that we authorize to withdraw money monthly to add fees without us noticing.

Dude, why was that comment moderated? The language was clean, I just meant that it didn't make sense... how can you not notice $1,800 missing over 10 years? Even if you are well off, you should check your bank statement every month. It shouldn't be easy to miss even $15 a month.
