Default Re: Banks are a waste of your money!

A couple of suggestions:

How are you using your bank's services? If you're using overdraft protection or out-of-network ATMs, then these fees are avoidable. If they're for normal transactions, then you might want to find out how to avoid them, or move on to a different bank.

Unfortunately, banks don't really love the people with savings accounts nearly as much as they love the people with car loans, mortgages, or credit cards, for easy-to-understand reasons.

You might want to try a credit union if you can become a member. They typically do better than banks do in terms of not charging a lot of garbage fees.
