Fear, loathing, and cross-border bill payment
Grrr. I owe money. Lots of it. And as a child of the internet age, accustomed to paying everything online, I'm starting to get irritated by the hoops I'll have to jump through just to get those pesky student loan bills paid every month. Sallie Mae has a credible online payment system, but only if you're using an American bank account. Nyah nyah, all you debt-to-your-eyeballs college graduates who fled the House of Bush and still have to pay back (with interest) all of those J.P.'s Java $4 mochas. And I thought getting reamed on the exchange would be my biggest headache. Right now, my best option is paying to transfer money from my Canadian chequing to my old Bank of America account in Austin. Expensive pain in the ass....
