With the way the world is going now a days. And with all the bank changes, credit union changes and even how your merchants will be working with you. The best thing you can do so go CASH.
Let me tell yo why…
By the end of this year 2010, your bank is going to start charging you fees for all transactions that you do with your credit card and also your debt card. The amount will vary depending on your bank. Not only the bank but also it is also known that the merchants might start charging you a fee also. Merchants are your grocery store, clothier store, gas station and the list goes on.
Why the changes? You might be asking.
Because the new credit card regulations that changed last year and the new ones that are coming in. The banks are going to have to make a difference and they are not going to lose on that money. They are going to have to find great ways to recoup that money. They are not going to cut down on their expenditures, so they are going to start charging fees and raising prices.
Is it fair?
Yes and no. Yes, because of the bank business is one of the toughest businesses in the US. So they are teaching themselves how to be competitive to get your business. That is how American businesses are built.
No because we live in a society that we get charged for everything we want and want to do. The FREE is starting to shrink and the more demand we put out for things. The more it cost the company and they more they are going to have to find a way to pay for it.
So the bottom-line and not matter how we look at it. You must understand that going with cash is the only way to go. Just check your bank statement, look at your bank websites, look at your bank brochures, watch TV and you can see the commercials, magazines are letting you know.
