Bill Gates once said ‘the advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don’t really notice it, so it’s part of everyday life’. This statement rings true today, especially when considering the next generation of tech-savvy adults who are eager to experience that thrilling feeling of independence. The catch is.…..with this freedom comes great financial responsibility. Keeping a favorable account balance can be challenging with a busy lifestyle. Moving away from home can bring about new concerns on how to successfully maintain a checking account while getting the most out of today’s technology.
