FED: "Banks Need Customer Consent on Overdraft Fees"

SEE WHERE I'M COMING FROM?

In a way, I do. About five years ago, I would have totally seen where you come from. It took me a long time to take the time to figure out the simpler things in money management. I made multiple overdrafts all the time. I didn't keep track of my money right. I did the "keep it in my head" routine and it almost always backfired. Taking the time to do the paperwork does seem to be a hassle, but I think, in the end, that 30 seconds it takes to jot down that ATM withdraw or that check purchase is definitely worth keeping the $30-40 that would come out of your account for overdrafting. Later, QD.
