A couple of years ago I was constantly overdrafting my account. Iām embarrassed at how much money I spent in overdraft fees. $35 each time. And when youāre already on a tight, low income budgetā¦that $35 is a LOT!
Once I started with the 2nd checking account for my rent - things changed. I wasnāt overdrafting, I was paying rent on time, and I felt a little more more to breath.
Then, I got a car - and my daughter got a horse - and I needed another account. Sure, maybe to some itās overdoing it but, for meā¦itās help me stop living paycheck to paycheck, and itās helped me to stop getting overdraft fees.
This has also helped me save a little extra money in my accounts, too! Sometimes, we just need to reevaluate our money systems, and systems, in general.
