    It’s never a pleasant moment:  That realization that your checking account is overdrawn and your account is getting hit with multiple $35 overdraft fees.   Ultimately, we’re responsible for our own financial missteps – but we all make mistakes.  And if you’ve ever felt the sting of a huge overdraft fee for one small error like an overlooked debit card transaction, you know firsthand just how costly those mistakes...

    You went to the local big-box retailer to pick up a couple of very specific essentials.  It should have been a quick – and relatively inexpensive — trip.    Once you got to the store, though, that “quick” trip turned into something else entirely:  You got what you came for — but you also bought six bargain-priced DVDs; two industrial-sized bottles of shampoo; and, for reasons you don’t fully...

    Budgeting isn’t for everyone.  Yes, you read that right.  But let me explain.  What I really mean is, the standard budget – as in, the fussy, spreadsheet-style, track-every-penny type of budget – doesn’t work for everyone.  Fortunately, there are several budget options out there, and I try to make a point to keep up with the latest money-management and debt-repayment strategies.  Whether your money management plan is focused on...
