Whew, I had a busy afternoon.
I went to get my hair cut, then drove just over a mile to our bank. I got a rather large cashiers check. (Think 997 or 991 money range) I then drove half a mile to the bank that has our airplane loan and gave them the large check. That will put us down low enough on the balance that we can go to a fixed rate loan and still pay it off in the same time frame. We save a whopping half a percent on the current loan, and no more worry about interest rates going nuts.
It just blows me away that in December of 2021 the bank with the airplane loan preferred a piece of paper with a signature, and a paper check to make it happen. My bank charges MORE to do a bank transfer or ACH payment than printing a Cashiers check. It took one teller, and he walked it to two bank officers to sign, so three employees yet that is cheaper than electronic transfer.
Then I had to run by the drug store to get some allergy meds, and back home to grab the prints to deliver to the client. I am exhausted after such a long hard few hours of activity!
I for sure need a nap.
