Maybe you should read a thread in its entirety before replying. I am not even going to read past your first line. Get a life.

I hope you get the assistant manager job that you'd like. That would be awesome!
Well you seem to be in a more positive mindset now, looking forward to new beginnings.
So stressful worrying about money. I spent years being poorer than a church mouse. I'm ok now, but I never get complacent because you never know how quickly you can be without. Overall looking back though it was maybe a good lesson to learn. It gave me strength. Im like you, good at budgeting if I have too. You have to knock things offf your needs list and plan ahead.
Well for me I don't like the big corporate banks. They are the worst. I really like the smaller banks because they do want to help and not shove what you don't need down your throat. A couple friends of mine left BOA to go to smaller local banks and they are much happier because there are no sales goals, it's all about customer service which in turn in my opinion leads to sales all on their own. If you push a customer they won't want what you have and won't even listen! If you listen to them and help them out with what they already have the chances of them coming to when they need help is greater. This has been my experience in the past in banking before it became all about sales sales sales. BOA's saying for the bankers made me cringe. They would say "cheeks in the seats." I was appalled at this saying! They wanted you in the bankers seat so they could sell you crap you didn't need. It was so annoying. I couldnt even do my job because if I referred a customer to a banker for a service issue the banker sent them away and told them to call customer service! AHHH i wanted to strangle our one banker. He was like a sleazy car salesman! He would tell me flat out he wouldn't do service because he didn't get paid for it. I was like you make MORE than me and get bonuses from referrals I give you and I get NOTHING. Tellers are the only ones in the bank who don't get a sales bonus yet we have insane sales goals that are impossible to reach. I am so glad I am not at BOA anymore, that place is a cancer!
I don't trust banks. All they seem to care about is using your money to loan out to others they get to make interest on.
I forgot to say I applaud you for leaving a bad relationship. I never did. Things got really bad before I just woke up one day and had the courage to file for divorce. I used to cry every single day and now I don't recall the last time I cried. I was on antidepressants, got off those, telling my doctor I found the cure by getting rid of the horrible man who was causing me pain. My fault for not leaving like you did. I should hsve set a better example for my kids. I didn't and that's that. I'm much better now though and my kids turned out pretty good despite their upbringing.
Thank you! Yea sometimes I wonder WHERE i get my coping skills from. I have felt like quitting so many times but I just keep going. I have my meltdowns here and there and honestly I think I need them so I don't snap! If a mini meltdown on here or my Facebook works then so be it!
I think you have the coping skills and the right attitude to make it. You're doing your best and that's what counts.

First of all, your honest assessment isnt. It cant be because you read the same info we did. Its not much to go on, but you can somehow sum a person up like her mother.
Also, being that this is your second post, you are the liar. You have been here before and made a new account only to troll this person.
Liar, why hide?
