The best way to make saving work is to make it automatic, and something that you don’t think about it just happens, without your intervention
You changed banks? Why? Hopefully it was for a good reason, to get a better deal or the like. Sometimes that is the only way to get a good deal.
Don’t Be Afraid to Make a Change is a timeless reminder that when it comes to managing your finances—especially your everyday banking—you shouldn’t stay stuck with fees, poor service, or inertia.
