I read an article a few days ago that said that it's not worthwhile to keep a bank savings account, especially if you put very little money into it. The article was short and not totally clear, but it seemed like they were saying
you'd have to keep a certain amount of money into the account just to break even, because of all the bank fees. I got talked into one of those "keep the change" savings accounts recently. I hadn't read the article yet, but I felt like he was just up-selling. I actually said no 3 times, before I said yes. Was he just being unusually helpful, or is this a racket? More importantly, will I loose more money than I put in by keeping this account open?
