Banks do NOTHING for YOU. . .

in #informationwar7 years ago

Have you ever stopped to think why you keep your money in a bank? What does your bank do for you? Is it maybe out of habit and convenience. . . Have you ever wondered why someone( the bank) charges you when you are turning your money over to them. It would seem logical that you would get paid to allow someone to hang on to something of value and even more so if that individual or entity was going to be able to earn from safekeeping your asset or funds. 

Many articles online and blog posts offer ways to avoid being charged or ways to reduce the fees that you may experience from having a bank account. Why should WE be the ones figuring out ways to reduce or avoid fees from a bank? Shouldn't the banks be figuring out ways to avoid charging sense-less fees to the people that keep their lights on. You may find this shocking but your BANK DOES NOTHING FOR YOU. In fact, they take from you for the courtesy of you providing them your money. It is time to wake up people and it is time to opt-out.  If you are not in a position to opt-out completely then do whatever you can to use the services of your bank the least amount possible. There are so many other ways to stop contributing to the wasteland of banking. We as a people have been taken advantage of and with the rise of crypto currency we have been provided a way to thrive in a new environment free from unnecessary fees. 

 For the more than 109 million U.S. households that have checking accounts, the total average annual cost of the checking accounts is $10.7 billion. This is just from the three types of fees: overdraft-related, ATM and account use, and monthly maintenance

The above quote is ridiculous and shocking!! 

Overdraft, ATM and account use, and monthly maintenance. . . Step back and think about what those are. . 

Those are arbitrary FEES charged to you so the institution that you are handing your money over to can pad their income statements at your expense. 

It is time to become responsible for yourself. It is time to manage your own assets and not be nickled and dimed to death via entities that definitely do not have your best interests at heart. There are so many ways to be the change. The only question is, are you ready?? This isn't like you are asking your family member to hang on to your assets or your trusted friend . . .The banks are not your friend and quite frankly they have shown over and over that they do not have proper moral high-ground in their activity. 

Take a peak at some of these assholes banks . . .

A list of quotes from shady dealings, fines, and scams could go on and on. . .These are just a few I quickly grabbed from the net. . There are thousands more. . This is who we TRUST our money with?

Those of you whom know @rawdawg know that he is definitely not a conspiracy theorist and I am not even a freedom fighter or libertarian but what I am is a person who is logical enough to look at simple facts and come to rational conclusions. The time is NOW and enough is enough. . 

Start taking control and responsibility for yourself and your financial well being. 

Hard assets, crypto-currency, and the least amount of traditional banking as possible, if any. 

Banks are only too-big-to-fail because we allow them to be that way. Too big to fail means they have so much of the citizens assets in their control that if they were to fail it would be catastrophic because a large majority of the world would be broke. . How have they gotten so much control? Simple answer. . . WE HAVE GIVEN IT TO THEM! 

What happens when we no longer need them to be doing what we should have been doing all along? 

Think about it. .

That's right, what you say is true and I agree, but the commissions are barely a tiny fraction of the problem, the fractional reserve, the quantitative easing, and the debt, are really a problem of greater dimensions, I wrote about it one month ago, The financial theft to humanity: How the Banks and the State conspire to rob you.
