Celebrate The Small Things -- July 4

It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!  Celebrate The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big or small it is.

This week I'm celebrating that even though I found two fraudulent charges on my checking account, they only totaled around $200.  This is the first time that this has happened to me and I realize how lucky I am that it wasn't thousands of dollars that were charged in error.  I know how scary identity fraud and credit card fraud is and that others have had it way worse than me.  Let's hope this never happens again!

I will have to close my checking account because the charges were made by stealing my account number, but this has given my husband and I a kick in the pants to do what we've been talking about for the past year or so...open an account at a local bank.  Goodbye big corporate government fed bank!  Hello to supporting local businesses!

I even got a free pen and lollipop when I opened my new account :)  Let's celebrate those too!

Happy 4th of July!


What are you celebrating?
