Economic Downturn
FOUND by Steve in Calgary, Alberta, Canada
I always check the balances on the discarded receipts I find when I get money out of the ATM, just to see how I match up. I was happy to discover that I was doing better than this guy.
A in the black, barely
Hey, I'm doing better than him, too! I imagine he dropped it in shock and wandered off with his jaw dropped and a glazed expression.

-$635,146.27, George, you got some explaining to do! What? Lap dances and a cocaine habit.

I wish my bank would grant me a negative balance like that. I would buy a new motorcycle and skip the country.

My account is in the red
Cursed convenience fees!

Can any bean counters out there tell us the compound interest on a 635k negative balance?

$201.50.... Really?

Does this ATM have change dispenser?

Highplains, the $1.50 convenience fee is subtracted from account, not dispensed with his $200 withdrawal.

My husband is constantly on my back about the money I spend. Seriously, there IS a money tree in our backyard...right?

Wow, I go anywhere under a + $20 balance, and I can't withdraw money. Of course, if I could, I'd end up like this poor guy.

Boy oh boy, that Valentine's Day really did this guy in !! (wait. do they "celebrate" Valentine's Day in Canada?)
Yeah. HOW could this happen?! I'm gonna move to Canada and open up some bank accounts!

If I had $19.85 in my account, the atm wouldn't allow me to withdraw $20. Insufficient Funds. Your transaction cannot be completed at this time...

This is hilarious-eh.

The bank wouldn't be in this mess if they'd used "ATM Services" like everyone else. Instead, they go with the fly-by-night CIBC and their "ABM Services". No wonder.

Not to rain on the parade, but this person is likely withdrawing from their Canadian Line of Credit which they used to buy their home (like a mortgage). This means they owe all this money for their home, not to a crack dealer and are not doing as bad as it might seem.

CIBC: Canadian International Bank of Canada.

Don't yell. My paternal family is from Canada, I can make fun.

If this bank is anything like mine $635,146.26 of that is probably $35 overdraft fees on the little charges like a drink at the gas station.

spy in CAnada
it stands for Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. It's one of the big banks.

Caitlin in ...in Canada
i believe CIBC actually stand for Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.. not "Canadian International Bank of Canada".. CIBC is not international.. lol. And We're actually not dumb enough to put "Canadian" and "of Canada" in the same phrase.. shocker, I know.

Jason in our home and native land
yeah.. this guy probably has a line of credit. A certain amount of money you have available, for university, as an example. It's like a loan where you only take the money when (and if) you need it..
