Get rid of your not-so-free checking account
If you've ever opened a “free” checking account with a big bank, you'll likely get monthly maintenance fees, minimum balance requirements and sneaky "convenience" fees that add up fast. While they make it feel like you're paying them to hold your money, you should keep your money where it should be - in your checking account.
