Bank runs here we come.

I love the smell of managed expectations in the morning.

ONE of Australia's biggest banks is scrambling to process payments to millions of customers, who potentially face days of uncertainty about when they will be able to access their money.

A corrupted file in the National Australia Bank's computers on Wednesday jammed its payment system, hitting customers from a range of banks who rely on the NAB to process payments.

The bank, which last night was considering opening extra branches during the weekend, could not say when the problem would be fixed. It had hoped to resolve the problem on Thursday.

The Herald has been inundated by anxious NAB customers, some of whom had checked online to find their past month's transactions rubbed out and their accounts credited with nothing.

2. Must have been a pretty good post recently.

There have been 3 or 4 posts trying to inspire despair in the last few minutes. Sad that is, wonder why they do that?


Side note, how can someone own 'your money' when you don't think in money concepts?

3. Screw despair. The Banksters are reality.
Ignore at your own peril. I prefer to acknowledge reality, and then to deal with it. Constructively.

5. Thank you.
I call myself a Optimistic Pessimist: Hope for the Best; But prepare for the Worst.

If people want to view the world through rose colored glasses or even Cabernet colored glasses, I have no problem with that.

Just don't expect me to stop telling people there's a freight train barreling down on them. I consider it a moral obligation. You don't like it, don't listen.
