Sacramento Man Writes Check For $400, Bank Reads It As $4,000. What It Took To Get His Money Back. SACRAMENTO – A Sacramento man said his bank added a zero to a check he wrote. When it put his account in the red, he reached out to CBS13 and the Call Kurtis consumer investigative team to ask for help. But, what really upset Gerald Monroe Mann was how long the bank told him it would take to fix the mess. "How can you treat me this way?" asked Mann, a longtime customer of Wells Fargo Bank. Mann wrote a check for $400. It's handwritten in words, too. But, Wells Fargo interpreted it as $4,000 and that drained Mann's checking and savings accounts. The scenario put him nearly $900 in the red. "I'm not rich," Mann said. "Yeah. Money is important." Mann spent hours on the phone with his bank. He said they told him it would take 10 business days to investigate the matter. That left him without access to his own money. "Now I'm screwed be...

The Bottom Line Investors should always do their homework before investing in a stock. That means analyzing the company’s financial report to get a true picture of how it is doing. Don’t just fixate on the headline numbers the company wants you to read or trust that analysts or somebody else will do the job on your behalf. Go through everything yourself and do it with a skeptical eye.

When a mobility issue comes up, you'll have to pay out of pocket for it," she said. That's where your emergency fund can come in. Your emergency fund should be larger to protect your retirement account, Wheaton said. "You generally don't want to pull large sums of money from retirement accounts at one time. If you do have an emergency or a medical expense you have to pay for, it's nice to pull it out of your emergency fund, as opposed to pulling it from your retirement account." That way, your retirement money will continue growing and be there when you need it, while your emergency fund will help to make sure the unexpected is covered, too.

will vary based on your income, expenses and other factors. For instance, $10,000 may be enough for a single person with minimal expenses and no debt. A married couple with children, a mortgage and multiple car payments may want to save more than $10,000. How Much To Keep in Savings vs. Checking Accounts It’s important to strike the right balance between your checking and savings accounts. Typically, you should only have about one to two months’ worth of expenses in your checking account. “A checking account should include enough to cover your next month’s expenses, and the remainder of your emergency fund should be in savings,” said Justin Haywood, president and co-founder of Haywood Wealth Management. “Checking accounts typically have very low interest rates, so you don’t want your entire emergency fund there.” In addition to having a savings account dedicated to emergency savings, you may want to consider opening different savings accounts for different financial goals.

everyone by changing sport from a space for only specific kinds of bodies (white, male, cis, hetero, able, young and elite) to sport for all bodies. If sport is for everyone, sport must be (re)imagined in ways that make it more accessible. Sport for all abilities: A pathway to inclusion Too often, the easy answer is that sport cannot be both competitive and inclusive. Sport with improved classification for cognitively and intellectually disabled athletes can happen along with the Paralympics. Sport can also be done in other ways that bring competition and inclusivity together. Mixed ability sport is one way that sport is re-imagined. Mixed ability sport organizations, such as International Mixed Ability Sports, show how sport can be changed by changing our minds about how sport is done. Ringette Canada and Rugby Ontario are two examples of how sports organizations in Canada are changing by offering mixed ability sport opportunities that include athletes of all abilities. We all, wh...

cautiously. "The reason I'm advising caution is you said you and this person used to have a turbulent relationship. There's no guarantee just because they've been chummy with you to make things easier at work that they won't turn on you and throw you under the bus," user JupiterSkyFalls wrote. NBCUniversal / The Office "It all depends on your relationship with this coworker. I've been on the other side of this where I was about to be fired and my coworkers, some of whom I was extremely close to, kept their mouths shut fearing retaliation," user JG307 wrote. "I get where they were coming from now, but at the time it was an incredibly hurtful betrayal. Not that they didn't choose me over their own jobs (I would never ask that of anyone) but that they didn't trust me to take the heads up and still protect them."
