I thought floating of checks was over?
I wrote a check to the grocery last Sunday, and it still hasn't been deducted from my account. I could have floated!

1. I float Debit card stuff all the time.
It always takes a day before stuff hits my bank. I love that! But shhh...don't tell anyone.

7. Yep. I use the card most of the time. But when I need a little time
well, that's why God made checks.

5. How is that even possible?
Since it's done electronically mine is always done immediately.

I can buy something online with my debit card, go directly to my bank online & it's there. Within minutes it shows up as a pending transaction.

2. I used to have "floating" down to a SCIENCE. It was like a colorful ballet...
A lost art.

And it only blew up in my face a COUPLE times.
