I work in real estate and got divorced when the bubble burst. So I went from a 2-income household to 1, with me making considerably less than I was accustomed to earning. Speaking from personal experience, its expensive being broke. For example I think I paid nearly the same amount to insure my auto as I did to insure both my auto and my wife’s when it was tied to a homeowner’s policy.
Plus I read that there are more ppl than ever without bank accounts. But at $7 per check, I think you need to open up at least a savings account to make deposits.
Or add a $7 service charge for anyone who would pay you by check. (if you in a position to do so)
Providing they can come up with that "minimum balance"
