Had A Scare - Makes Me Rethink Everything.

For some reason when I got online this morning to check how much the direct deposit was for my husbands paycheck there was nothing showing up. The online banking information was all messed up and was showing 0.00 for everything - even though I knew there was money in there before the payday!! Scared me so bad. I kept refreshing the page and signing in and out! Every Friday for over 1 year there has been a direct deposit in our bank at midnight and I am upat 5 am every morning so I get online on Friday's early to check. This went on until 7:30 this morning. It even had a page that was popping by then saying that there was a problem with our bank account and to call this 800#!! I was freaking out by then and called my husband who is in Kansas right now. He was worried too. So we were like well we can't do anything until the bank opens at 9:30. So I waited a bit and got on my son's computer and there was a notice on the bank site then that said there had been a glitch and everyone's online banking was now working and the direct deposit was now showing up!! But for the little bit I was in a panic and realized how stupid we are for having everything in the bank and with no way to have cash on had if something were to really happen. NOW I am going to make sure that I only leave the car payment in the bank and the rest of the money is coming out. We rely too much on the bank. MY husband is going to find out today if there is some way that they can pay him another way so that we will have cash. He does not think that there is. He thinks they only pay with direct deposit. But he is going to ask. If there isn't I guess, I will have to get to the bank ATM as early as possible to take out every thing in there.

UPDATE: IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ONLINE BANKING??? NOW OUR BANKS WEBSITE IS DOWN ALL OF THE WAY!!! NOTHING!!!! CRAZY.
