Do you feel you are out of the loop when it comes to managing your bank accounts? What happened to the good old days when a check was a check no matter if your wrote it at the grocery store or received it on payday. Now, you don’t even have to take a check to the bank to get it deposited! And, what’s up with that monthly statement? Remember the days of magically appearing in your mailbox every month? Those days are gone with the dinosaurs. But never FEAR! Your LIBRARY is HERE!
