I think I may have learned a money lesson

[Jenson71]

I had $290 in my checking account. Then there's a monthly fee ($8.56). So I'm down to 281. I pay a university bill off that was $278. And then I don't put any money in. But another month comes and now I'm negative (because of the monthly fee)! I'm $5 in the hole, so as soon as I saw this, I transferred some money over to my checking account.

The next thing I see is I have a $305 overdraft fee charged to my credit card bill! Does this sound right?

That's quite an expensive (and stupid) mistake.
