Don't let banking fees go unnoticed
Scanning through your checking account can be particularly challenging in late-December. Between holiday gifts, trips home and anything else that may come up during this crazy (and expensive) time of year, it's easy to overlook a small charge amongst perhaps dozens.
And yet, as I perused through my account the other day, a nondescript and completely infuriating charge caught my eye: "$8.00 - Monthly Fee"
Um... what?
