An outrage? I'll give you an outrage. I have to'give' my local school district $6000 dollars a year (if I don't pay up, they will take my house), and I don't even have any children in school!! That's an outrage.

You won't see that on the news.

I'll bet Amy complains whenever they give her a raise, too?

"An extra $50,000 a year increase in my salary, so that viewers can watch me say this crap? It's an outrage!"

Avoiding a fee is easy .. buy a drink from a store and pay using your card you CAN get cash back pluss you get something for the "fee".

p.s. first post long time reader

What an absolute idiot.  Is Amy not old enough to remember a time where there were no ATM's and people actually had to go to a bank branch and withdraw money?  Plus, not to mention, I must have missed the part where she is forced to use an ATM, and not just any ATM, but BofA's ATM machine.

I quit using Bank of America AND it's ATMs some time back when they started giving credit cards to people who are breaking our laws by being in this country illegally.

Here's the problem:  Amy's brain is as wired and evolved as the ATM she used.

Dear Amy Robach,

I realize as a liberal you have only programming to make your brain function and are void of a Conservative gentleman to help you along the financial way in your Affirmaive Action job. In that light, I will offer you some sound tips to assist you which are in part what Ben Stein accomplishes daily as many other Conservatives do with a few of my own financial helps.

First Amy, you need to find your bank. It is a building where the billing address on the envelopes you receive your statments from. It will have BANK on the outside so this should help you. If not hire a cab and give them the address and take special note as you ride along the route to your bank.

Second, park in a well lit area so you will not be mugged.

Third, enter your bank. There will be tellers there (people behind the counter). You walk up to them with your checking account book or savings account book with your identification. This is a driver's license.

Fourth, you smile and present them your book and if they ask for ID you present that too and say, "I would like to withdraw $100 in four 20's and two 10's". The teller will handle all of this and you will have to subtract the 100 which is easy from your balance in your checking account.

Fifth, put the money into your purse and walk to your car being aware no one is going to mug you and drive home.

Sixth, at home you put all except twenty dollars into a safe place you will remember and the $20 you keep in your purse for the small things you need until it is gone and then you replenish it from your cash stash.

Seventh, you repeat this weekly taking less or more from your bank as you find what you need.

Eighth, is a bit more difficult and if you need a Conservative gentleman, find one and they will assist you.

For your non business and household expenses which are not tax deductable use your bank's debit card. This means things like groceries and gas.

For your monthly bills auto electronic pay them. This would be electric, cell phone, rent etc... Making certain you check those bills for mistakes monthly.

For business expenses which are tax deductable like your pretty clothes, travel expenses associated with business etc... you get a credit card like American Express Blue or Discover with cash back programs. (Do not use Chase or other BoA cards as they seem to be Rockefeller controlled and intent on destroying America.)

For all other shopping to keep things simply you just keep one other credit card in a Visa or Mastercard as they are most readily accepted any where.

In this way dear Amy each month you will only get 4 bills in your mail which you will promptly pay in full and not have any interest rates. Your bank (remember the brick building which had tellers) will probably even give you a binder with monthly sections in it to keep all your bills in order, so when you pay your IRS taxes it will be easy to sort through them and itemize the accounts.

I sincerely hope this helps and do not feel bad about being ignorant of finances as most of us were not born Milton Friendman or Ben Stein.......but some of us actually took the time to read their writings instead of talking on our cell phones for 6 hours a day.

God bless your financial learning Amy.

Hey, Genius!  If you don't like the service you're getting at your bank, move your money elsewhere.  Or since you're so busy, have your butler do it.

$3.00 convenience charge for access to $20.00...that's 15%.  No doubt she thinks 15% tax on capital gains is an inadequate "convenience" charge.  I doubt she complains too much when her agent takes his 15%...or when the government bleeds ordinary citizens of their hard-earned employment income.

By the way, isn't she wearing the same outfit that Hooters girl was wearing when she got kicked off that Southwest flight?

Amy Robach is high enough up the NBC food chain that she probably makes a salary most of us would die for. Why does she even notice a $3 fee?

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
