I am seriously considering cancelling my Amazon VISA card. I used to go online to download my statement into Quicken and then use Quicken, my saved receipts, and the mailed statement to balance the account. Tonight, when I tried to download my statement, Chase Bank tried to get me to cancel my paper statements. I had to make a choice between seeing any information on the web and having a paper statement. I chose the paper statements.

With the credit card companies showing themselves to be only slightly trustworthy and since they can’t seem to keep your private information secure and since they don’t really seem to care about identity theft, shouldn’t I have the ability to double-check my account? Is this really unreasonable? And I can’t be the only one who has checked a web page and found information to change when it shouldn’t, even things like bank account information.

Oh, well.

I just spent half the day watching Celebrity Fit Club. Actually, I had it on in the background while I did my taxes. I can’t believe my refund is half of what it was last year. I guess we have to pay our tribute to King George somehow.
