There in lies the problem. People and businesses glibly say, wire me $10k or $60k or whatever, as if it doesn't pucker you up so you feel like a dehydrated prune desiccated in a 15 year old fruit cake after Christmas.
Where do they get off demanding a money wire as if it is business as usual. Have you ever wired money? There are massive amounts of numbers and letters that are entered into a complex form. Numerous opportunity to not only make a typographical error but simply have the wrong information. I don't know how any money gets anywhere with this process.
I will confess that we have wired plenty of money and it actually got to the right account. How this happened is a mystery to me.
I'm a little...well, actually a lot...wound up by a request to wire $11k to buy a used vehicle in Panama BEFORE the guy has even located the vehicle. I know he is doing me a favor...for a hansom fee of course, but give me a break.
I emailed (another example of trusting the mighty electron to the ether) to work something else out. We'll see what he says.
This process of moving overseas is a roller coaster ride for sure! I just Friday shared with a friend that I broke through all the worry and consternation, and I was in the free and clear and full of joy! Ya, right. What's that old express: what goes up must come down.
