Most People Fall For Fake Bank Fees, Survey Shows

It's sad that we've been penalized for fees so much that most people are finding it hard to tell which fees are real or fake.

It's sad that we've been penalized for fees so much that most people are finding it hard to tell which fees are real or fake. In fact, in a recent ING Direct survey, none of the 1,000 participants managed to correctly categorize bank fees. Here are some ways ING advises to avoid facing the real fees:

  • Read the fine print when you sign up for checking accounts.
  • Avoid the automatic opt-in overdraft protection and do your best to live within your means and not overspend.
  • Take note of what your balance is.
  • Locate and use ATMs that won't charge you a fee.
  • Automate payments so you'll be able to better monitor your balance.
  • Join a bank that's "fee-free."

CNN recently created a list of their top nine banking fees pet peeves, which includes the fee you have to pay when you forget to update your address and the one for replacing your debit card. My last annoying bank fee was a $30 fee for canceling a check, which wasn't something I could've prevented. What about you — what was the last fee your bank charged you?

Poll Shows People Have Less Faith Than Ever in 20-Somethings

It's a little depressing to hear that the majority of Americans have little faith in Gen Y.

It's a little depressing to hear that the majority of Americans have little faith in Gen Y. The only people that seem hopeful about our prospects are, well, the 20-somethings themselves. Just 44 percent of respondents believe that people in their 20s will have a better life than their parents, according to a Gallup survey. Compared with past results, that's the lowest since 1983 and the first time it has reached below 50 percent.

Perhaps it's a combination of rising school loans and recessionary pessimism. Or maybe it's due to the fact that Gen Y-ers are taking even longer to settle down with steady career paths compared to the previous generations. Many SavvySugar readers have chimed in and said jumping from job to job is really a mandatory result of the economy, and not because they are eager to explore job opportunities out there.

Do you think you'll be more successful than your parents?
