Verdict: Minor win
I made one major mistake that cost me alot. I accidentally transferred my money from my checkings into savings because I forgot about my upcoming scheduled payments. That cost me 2 bank fees and a discover card fee: $35 + $27 + $27 = 89. I made it under my $500 budget but still it would’ve been a great month if it weren’t for these retarded fees. I got one of the Discovercard fees reversed but San Diego County Credit Union sucks and won’t reverse it. Oh well, lesson learned. Never get a savings account and just keep all your cash in a checking account to avoid problems like these. I hate my bank so much, it’s the worse. It even charged me money for my starter checks. I can’t wait to change banks. Next good sign up now and get $100 or whatever deal at a bank and I’m switching. SDCCU is the worst!
