Stupid money mistake strikes again

I have a history of making stupid money mistakes. Usually it's not transferring money from ING to the checking account in time for the auto debit of a bill. Those are expensive mistakes that I thought I was past.

I was wrong.

I got a $52 late fee for my apartment rent. See, I thought I had 5 days to pay it at the beginning of the month. I paid it on the 4th. Last month I did the same, and the same before that. This is the first late fee I've gotten. I was really mad when I found out about the late fee.

I looked at my lease. It says I only have 3 days. I guess I should be thankful that this is the first time I've gotten the late fee!
