Never Pay An Unnecessary Fee Again

Don't get caught in a cycle of unnecessary overdraft fees, credit card interest and high-cost loans. A few simple tools can help you hold onto those hard-earned dollars.<br/><br/>Here's what to remember:<br/>- Automation is your friend. Set your bills on autopay. <br/>- Overdraft protection is deceptive. Link your checking account to a savings account to avoid overdraft fees.<br/>- Set up a buffer savings account with automatic deposits. <br/>- Don't use credit cards for emergency spending.<br/>- If you do have an emergency, try asking your employer for your already-earned wages. <br/>- Balance transfer checks can help with high-interest debt, but read the fine print.
