I had $50 in venmo, which I used to purchase groceries, because my bank account is currently negative.

Instead of using the $50 in my bank account, instead, a week later the $50 came out of my bank account, not touching the Venmo balance at all.

So now I have an overdraft fee, effectively meaning I paid 1.5 times for those groceries.

I don’t have “overdraft protection,” I’ve told my bank I don’t want overdrafts to go through, but fuck me for being poor I guess.

    Which is so stupid, because the bank loses their own money and if someone is already running negative they’re probably never gonna really be able to pay it back. But I guess they have countless hours of analysis on this and have run the numbers. Or maybe it’s short sighted. Who knows.
