Crazy: Purple Hair and being dumb but not knowing it. Now they go together for sure but not always. Most don't understand taxes: For example, a girl with purple hair at my credit union did not understand depreciation, and I did not get into Cost Seg with her because she really would not understand that. I was buying an RV, and she said I didn't qualify because of my income. I broke down all my taxes and depreciation to show her I made 1M this year. She said I understand Depreciation. I said clearly you don't. I don't bank there anymore.
What I love: Old Man Dan at a local Umpqua bank. Great guy who understands taxes and is always close. Also, he makes wine on the weekend. He gives me a bottle and a hug when I see him. He is my favorite banker ever. Tickets to football games are nice, but understanding taxes, so I don't have to qualify, is fantastic.
