Its been a month and a week since I started school at Washburn University, and I think its time to start giving some advice on my blog. Don't spend money on useless things that you do not need for college, especially little things that can really add up. One thing that has really hurt me is spending an extra $3 every time I use the ATM, since my bank isn't in Topeka. So I might suggest just using a debit card at all times. I've pretty much wasted $9 using the ATM lately, which is pretty disappointing. So that's pretty much my advice for the day, save that money as much as possible.

If you open an account with U.S. Bank, you can use the ATM on Washburn's campus with no withdrawal fee. Most banks just require a minimum of 100$ to open a savings account with no maintenance fee.
ReplyDeleteWow. $3.00 is a lot for just withdrawing! I wouldn't have expected that
ReplyDeleteI always use debit card because my bank is in Japan, just like you.
ReplyDeleteand when I used my debit card( or credit card), I write down how much did I pay.
I think it makes you pay attention for spending money more and more.
