Start off the new year strong by centering the fundamentals of personal finance. We'll discuss opening and maintaining a bank account, avoiding bank fees, paying bills and some information to prepare you for filing your taxes. This year the IRS will not offer paper checks for tax returns, so let's make sure you have a bank account that meets your needs to receive your return!
