several years ago the cheap living guru clark howard
suggested changing your banking to a credit union
wellsfargo.com
now at that time i was with the stagecoach bank
i had been with them for years
but
i noticed that i was started to get nickeled and dimed
with more nickling and diming going on every month
once
i calculated it was costing me close to $300+ a year
just to have a checking account with the well known
western bank
so
i changed to a credit union
i pay well i pay nothing for my checking account
i pay well i pay nothing for my savings account
i pay well i pay nothing for my checks
i pay well i pay nothing for my credit card
which since i am a dave ramsey fan
i rarely use it
if i do i get money back if i use it
i pay well i pay nothing for a debit card
which i do use a lot
since i never have cash in my pocket
but
when i do use my debit card i get cash back at the
end of the year
so
in summary
i pay well i pay nothing for my checking account
i make somewhere between $200 to $300 a year
on the cash back program

then
yesterday
i was watching the news
there was that consumer bulldog advocate
elizabeth warrren
chewing up that stagecoach ceo
i am sure his rear end was bloody
like a pit bull had grabbed ahold of his buttocks
and
wouldnt let go
when she finished with him
then
thank goodness for bipartisan politics
the republican senators finished him off
we always need a bulldog in congress
who is on our side
protecting us
i realize some of you dont like all of her politics
but
you have to like her for what she is doing for us
the consumers
someone has to be on our side
so
as i watched her ream that ceo good
i thought
i am so glad several years ago
that i got off that stagecoach
and
changed to a better banking alternative
thanks again
ms warren
for being on our side
