Shopping for Bank Accounts, Is It Possible?

Please Share!

One thing I do NOT like to think about is money, when I rarely have it to spend in the first place! Sure, I wish I had a TON of it to do with what I please, but lets face it, that will not happen anytime soon! Ugh..

But, one way to get a lump of money, is to SAVE it. I know, that is hard to do, especially with little kids and a money hungry hubs, sigh. Everyone wants something and mama is left with no money !! 🙁

Shopping for Bank Accounts IS possible and saving money IS possible. You just have to find the right bank and the right account for YOU and your family.

I prefer a secret account just for ME. For emergencies, like a quick mani or pedi or even a quick color on my crazy looking hair. You know, those kinds of emergencies… 😉 Every mama NEEDS one of those accounts!

You can certainly compare bank accounts to get a better deal. It IS possible!! I went to a few banks that charged more then a couple other ones and I went from there. No time like the present to get your secret account, start putting money away in it, for a rainy day!! Mama has to have something to fall back on too 😉

Any money I earn I put away, and yes, it does dwindle quite quickly because we do  need things, but, I do try to always have some money for me and for things that I want too. I would not be too happy if I did not have my own money to spend, once in a while. That would suck not to have any to treat yourself with, once in a blue moon…

Like I said, sure I am broke beyond measure, but I still have a TINY bit of money I can grab if needed. What about YOU? Do you have a good bank account that does not charge you much and that you can dip into when you need/want to?

    I know how you feel. =( It seems as soon as you save up a little bit of money something always comes up to deplete it.

    A credit union is good.

    I do have my own account with my own money. I use it for mainly that “girly” stuff for me and my daughter. One less thing the hubby has to worry about.

    I have a very small savings account that doesn’t have so many fees, its actually pretty nice. Credit unions are a great place to have an account.

    We have a good bank account that doesn’t charge any monthly fees. I don’t have my own secret account though! LOL But on the flip side neither does dh! 🙂 In fact I’m the one in charge of the banking and paying bills so he usually doesn’t even know how much is in there unless I tell him!

    We have a joint savings and a joint checking account but I also have my Paypal account and Paypal debit card which totally serves as a private account just for me. Although I use it for numerous things including our monthly car payment, vacation fund, etc. I make the money in it and I spend the money in it!

    No I don’t and these are great tips! I would be nice to have this type of account to use! Thank you!
