Bank fees get my goat. I'm not proud of it, but I have bounced my share of checks this year. At 33 buck a pop, that's just plain stupid. Now that I have a steady income, it's easier to avoid those totally unnecessary feas.
There are lots of bank fees I'm become acquainted with: wire transfer fees, the ever-popular late fee, account maintence fee (now there's a way to teach a kid to put her savings under her mattress instead of in the bank).
But the one that really peeves me is the ATM fee. At $1, $1.50, or $2 for a transaction at a machine other than your own bank, those little buggers really add up. Plan ahead. Go to your own bank for cash. Just say no to fees. You'll thank me later.
Now excuse me while I go back to my cold fireplace and count what little money I have left.

Another reason I use an "all cash" system. I don't have to pay ATM fees because I ALWAYS have cash on hand. To be honest, I would have to think pretty hard to even remember where the ATM's are located in my town:)
