I wrote and mailed a check for $0.01 today. That's right.. a check for one cent and it cost me 37 cents to send it.

I electronically sent what I thought was my final mortgage payment earlier this week. I calculated what the interest would be and added that to the total. Well seems the mortgage company always rounds up, never down. I was left owing 1 red cent!

I called them this morning figuring after all those rounded pennies they'd forgive just one. When I told the woman on the phone the situation she says "Mail a check for 1 cent." I laughed and said I figured they'd write if off. She replied very matter of factly.. "It's a bank, mamm." So I sent them the damn check.
