Money Changes Everything

 

May 22, 2026

 

In order to access accounts online, you need a login, and most often these days, another layer of “security” (which somehow ends up with you getting spam messages that you can tell are directly related to the 2nd layer, because of their content).

 

I have discovered an exception, however.

 

I was offered the option of paying a bill online. Having confirmed with another person who used the same service that no evil effects had befallen, I girded my loins and prepared to deal with the hassles of security, double security, and the various miscellaneous trials that beset the user of online services.

 

But: I clicked the message that had come to my email inbox, selected “Pay Now” and voilĂ ! It immediately said, “Payment confirmed.”

 

Cindy Lauper was right: Money changes everything.
