a few months back i had to pull some money from my 401 and the check was drawn on a bank in delware but has branches in houston. my bank said it would clear in 2 weeks. i call the branch and they said it would take a week to 10 days to clear. WHY? i go to some walmart's and write a check it comes out of my checking account then they know my check is good then. i understand crediting my account on some others bank but 2 weeks? then there is the bank it was wrote on 7-10 days? why isint it good right now they know if the moneys there?

i said all this because last friday i wrote the irs a check for $3500.00 i mailed it and my taxes last friday the following tuesday the check cleared my bank. does any of this make since, makes me wonder thousands of checks for millions of dollars the banks holding and who gets the intrest on this money in limbo land? not me.
we can send a man to the moon, and check to see if a check is good but 2 weeks to get my money.
thank you im finish for now these are few of my non favority things.
im in my happy place,im in my happy place, im in my happy place
