I went to the bank when i was just a kid with my dad and i can barely remember getting my first account.. In my family we worried about earning allowance.
Even the movie show never got all of our money ..
My mother made our popcorn to take with us.
Banking was not our concern back then.
Few years after that i went in the military and sent money home
worked a few years after that.. during that time i could call down there to the bank
like a friend and tell them what i needed and it happened
If i couldn't then Momma called them..after that it was fine
It was important to me to make those payments on time..
(Because i said i would) Not for the contract or the credit report ..
(Back then it was because i said i would)
A person's word used to hold more weight back then than it does now
You could have nothing for them to hold but hey (a man's seemed to hold more weight than a woman's word) a man's honor, pride, & respect in the community meant more than all the real estate in Arkansas back then!
Now today can you trust the bank to make sure that you and your money
are taken care of.. If you owe on your house do they bend over backward to help you on your word? or do you have to own to purchase? How does you're bank work?
