Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Waaay off topic, but what BANK would you go with other than the typical Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase, etc. reason I ask for bank is because even though I’d honestly prefer a credit union, I travel often and credit unions aren’t always available
My debit card from my credit union can be used anywhere, same with the credit card, but I do not use it. I've traveled to Canada, used it for cash in their ATM machines, made international purchases with it.
Yea I’m referring more to cash deposits or using something like Zelle to move money rather than just a withdrawal
I've reserved an account in Old Glory bank and am waiting for the go-ahead to open it. Patriot initiated. Oldglorybank.com.
and on the bright side...folks that were poor during the great depression..didnt even know there was a depression much less a great one
Why thank you patriot!! Never knew this existed, will do some research on them. This type of bank needs to become well known in our community!
I hope it works out for you! I'm excited to move from WF.
Only put enough in the big bank for travel the rest in credit union
Yea that’s a good strategy. I do have a credit Union already but their deposit/withdrawal/access is extremely inconvenient. Though, I will start to prioritize the credit Union now
