The typical American no longer balances their checkbook on a daily or weekly basis. Its no wonder people find themselves in debt trouble.
Solution: Online banking has come a long way and its important for computer users to jump on board. I know, I know you will miss the face to face interaction with your bank teller but most people do drive-thru banking anyways. Some do not even go to the bank, they deposit and withdraw straight from an ATM machine.
I remember being able to see how much debt I owed the bank and would log in every day and look at that amount go down. I would transfer money from my checking to my loans with the click of a button and boy did it feel good to hit transfer. Sometimes I would transfer $5 but other times I would transfer $500 until the “magic number”, as I would tell my wife, was finally at $0. I have yet to get through at the Dave Ramsey show, i’m going to call in and scream i’m debt free. Does online banking work for you?
i prefer online banking too but make sure its safe.
Yes, I would suggest purchasing some cheap identity theft protection.
