I mostly simply have to announce to the world that I have obtained a new Bank of America account, and I am in love.
I'm not dissing Wachovia-- they have more branches in NC than any other bank, and it's been pretty sweet to have my UNC OneCard (meals, library, laundry, etc.) linked to my checking account as my debit card. But in California, there aren't nearly as many. I needed a bank that was bigger out West.
So I chose Bank of America-- which, conveniently, is located pretty much everywhere.
Today I signed into my online account for the first time, and I was blown away. There was a free feature which allowed me to categorize every purchase and instantly see my monthly spending on a pie chart or compared with a budget. What's more: I can link both my Wachovia accounts and Capital One MasterCard to the site and see all my financial information at once-- and categorize all my purchases.
My days struggling to make an Excel spreadsheet that doesn't what I want are OVER. (Of course, I don't technically have Excel anymore, since I have a Mac with open-source Office software... but the pt remains...) I don't have to buy any fancy programs or even subscribe to a convenient online service like Mvelopes. I can do everything I want straight from my bank account.
That, my friends, is pretty freakin' amazing. I have become a quick fan of BoA!
Now if only my new debit card would arrive...

Hi - you commented on my blog about St. Barnabas ages ago. Sorry - I was in labor when you commented, and have since been unable to get to email very much.
Anyway, St. B's doesn't have a website or anything, but if you want more info, you could email me (see my profile) and I can tell you or put you in touch with other members who'll still be there this fall.
Best of luck at Fuller!
