   About to pay the most money in one go I have ever done by a factor of like a hundred.

     Both banks were weirdly bad at details, but all parties actually involved ended up happy with the resulting transactions at least.

     In our case, the bank claims to have paid the full amount on our behalf but on our side it looks like they forgot to adjust for the extra part-monthly fee, leaving us with some extra money, while for the seller, the situation might be significantly worse.

     In either case, money is fake anyway, and probably this will all be sorted out Somehow(tm).

     .... but it hasn't exactly given me a lot more confidence in the banking system, lemme tell you.

     Nationalize it all and abolish money.

     @pettter in the last situation you are no longer a slave of the banks.

     @pettter you're either be in debt your whole life. Chained by society. Working till you die.

     Or try to get debt free. Giving you back your freedom. Living below your means. And invest into yourself and the future.
