We all do our best to keep tabs on our account balances and keep track of our spending — but sometimes life happens, and you find yourself facing an overdraft. Correcting your account is easy enough, but how do you prevent overdrafts in the future? Like cavities, it takes daily upkeep and having some insurance in place. Get the details here.
