          seriously? well I pay it early so if I ever have an emergency come up, at least that's one less thing to worry about...and if I ever am in a financial bind (which I am never in, but I prepare for this shit because I'm pyscho), I'll have an extra two weeks to catch up.

            Good thinking. I always wait until the day before the end of the month, but I am an irresponsible butt monkey

      Paying rent makes me sad (goodbye moneys!), but it's one of the few times I get to use my bitchin' Counter-Strike checks.

        This is one of the times when I hate Germany for doing this paying rent shit using direct deposit only.

          I used to be able to charge rent to my credit card, which was sweet because I would get money back from the cc company. They stopped that though so I have to use checks. It's like I'm living in the Dark Ages.

            If you were living in the Dark Ages you would simply kill the landlord/lady and make that apartment your own.

        hmm, good thinking.

        i hate busting out the checkbook because it means i'm about to be poor, but if i had some customized checks to cheer me up, that could balance out my sadness.

        i should look into this.

          It cost me about $30 for 300 checks. It was done through my bank through a company called Liberty, and it was super easy. Upload a picture, adjust the size, and volià. It's fun!
