17. ATM Use
The worst feeling in the world is having to pay money to access your own money. ATM fees are probably the most infuriating things in the world… but we just put up with them out of convenience for the most part, right?
Well, forget about them! We recommend using a bank or credit union that waives ATM fees, even if you have to stick within certain boundaries. For example, First Tech Federal Credit Union refunds fees if your checking account meets certain criteria like using direct deposit or receiving electronic statements.
Ally Bank will reimburse up to $10 of ATM fees per month for customers with an interest checking account.
18. Trading Fees
If you wanted to participate in the stock market but needed yet another gentle push, here it is. You can now do so without worrying about trading fees. In fact, Fidelity, Vanguard, TD Ameritrade, E*TRADE, and Charles Schwab announced $0 commission trades on ETFs (exchange-traded funds) and stocks!
This, of course, has fueled a wave of criticism. Some people have argued that undisciplined traders will trade too much and instead of fees you’re more likely to “pay” with losses on your investments.
We think everyone should have the opportunity to trade however they please, whenever they please. Be cautious, of course, but do as you wish without having to worry about fees!

Where do I go for recreation and free meals
I think I found ways to go free!!
Good information, but I’m curious about one statement contained in the article. In item 24 titled Water, we find this sentence referring to reusing a water bottle – “Oh and you’ll not only save money by doing so, but you’ll be helping the planet out by keeping fewer plastic water bottles out of landfills.” If we keep fewer plastic bottles out of the landfill, that means there are more going into it. My question is, how are we helping the planet by infusing more plastic bottles into landfills?
Comments on which subject?
Great!
Thanks for doing something like this for us “Old Folks”..
I would like information about which National Parks are free for seniors (over age 66)
Why in some states the internet, phone and tv are only $10.00 a month for seniors. Dental implants are not offered to us, claiming it is classified costemtic surgery?? yet several people have had chocking while eating?? We need to fight for the things we need. Hey, I have fought all my life cause I have never been married??? It isn’t fair at all. Nothing is being done for us enough. Were is the power of the senior and we can win for the items we want???
