Money is fuel for substance abuse.

When I got my new job, they told me I would get paid monthly. So I put most of my money in a savings account that I cannot touch, and put a big lump sum into my spending account, so I would have a specific amount per day on average.

Within a couple of days, I had a massive amount of alcohol, because at the time I could afford it. So my family had the idea to set up a recurring payment instead, a certain amount per day, re-setting every seven days.

That sounds great, but today was the first weekend since it happened. The money was transferred to my account early this morning. It takes a while, but eventually it gets to my account, around midday or early afternoon. It’s now 3:00PM and nothing has arrived.

Then I realised, it might not come because banks aren’t open on weekends. So right now, it’s a beautiful sunny day, everyone’s out enjoying life (and drinking by the way) and I’ve got barely any money.

In 2023, why the are banks closed on a weekend? I have seen threads that say that they are closed on weekends because the Reserve Bank is closed on weekends. Well, why is the Reserve Bank closed on weekends? Can’t they have weekdays off?

At least I’ll have plenty on Monday… and it’s because I can’t have a tonne of money without the risk of using it on alcohol.
