Stay on top of it

It's so easy to fall behind on your banking. We all get crazy busy with life and its details, but getting behind can cost you money.

Monitor your bank accounts and credit card statements for errors. These same errors may run in favor of the bank or credit card. If they know they made a mistake, let your financial instutition or credit card company know. They may be unaware of the situation, but they're usually quick to make corrections. This simple habit of monthly monitoring your statements could save you hundreds every year. Simple diligence folks.

One extra cost that easily stands out- extra costs to you for past due fees, overlimit fees, returned check fees, finance charges, etc.
