The End of an Era

I just closed my CitiBank account.

This is the bank account I got when I moved to NYC.

It's the bank account I had when I actually started reading my statements and handling my money like an adult. It is the bank account I had when I finally became, as Charlotte Bronte would say, an Independent Woman.

I was mightily disappointed when I moved to Columbia and found that all the CitiBanks in Howard County had been bought by Bank of America.

Eight years. *sniff*

And the operator closed the account without questions or pressure and thanked me for my business.

I know the high muckety mucks have been in trouble in the past, but I'd still recommend CitiBank to anyone.

The banks at which I had my first three bank accounts are all long gone; my first bank account may not have been closed, but if not there was less than $10 in it when we moved.
