Future Dating

Categories: Accounting

When you can feel your current relationship winding down and you start daydreaming about every barista who makes you a latte.

Also, it’s a term related to banking.

Future dating involves scheduling banking transactions that will take place at some later time. You set them up now, but they'll actually take place at some point in the future.

So...it’s September 1. But you set your online banking app to pay your cell phone bill on September 20. So yeah...that's simple example of future dating.
