If a check you deposit isn't funded by the time you think it will be, you could find yourself in trouble to the tune of hundreds of dollars in overdraft fees alone. Try to find a bank that advertises it will only charge one overdraft fee per day if you make a timing mistake with your deposit. It's not easy.

The snowball that happens when you get a fee from the bank is amazing and before you know it, you have several overdrafts. I think minimizing the damage and tracking automatic payments are great points. This is a great article.
