Another way to spend money...

Today, I finally paid my sister rent for July. I used an email money transfer. I had used one before but only to receive money. I like that I can just send it to her and it will be out of my account right away and she can receive it right away. What I don't like is that the bank I normally bank with doesn't do email money transfers so I have to transfer from one account to another before I can actually do them. On the other hand, maybe cheques would be simpler....
