Failure to keep track of your bank/checking account can easily cost you money via overdraft fees.
Your debit card can easily get you into the red if you don’t know what’s in your checking account.
Think your card will be declined if your account has insufficient funds? Think again.
If you go into the red in your checking account, your debit card will usually continue to work without even so much as a burp.
Every time you make a debit card purchase while you have insufficient funds in your checking account you are also being slammed with a banking fee.
Unless you have an automatic overdraft protection that enables funds from your savings account to be transferred, you can be way more broke than you ever imagined in one, short weekend.
Make sure you know what banking fees you’ll be spanked with if you make a mistake.
