A Federal Judge in California ordered Wells Fargo to repay $203 million in overdraft fees that it had collected using dubious practices. We previously mentioned the ridiculous practice of banks ordering debit card charges in order of largest first in order to maximize overdrafts in our article Debit Cards: Wolves in Sheep's Clothing. The practice is known as high to low resequencing. If you have had overdraft fees on debit cards, you may just have a refund coming your way, even if you don't bank at Wells Fargo.

"I don't get how one can ever save the money you recommend on LiveCheap. My husband and I are professionals and do very well income-wise. We make a little over $250,000 a year, have no kids, but we have very little savings. We want a home but it would take us years to get a 20% down payment for a house in suburban D.C. We both save about 10% of our income in 401ks but we barely have $10,000 in a savings account. Yes, we have newer cars and the payments are high, take good vacations, and we pay over $2,700 a month in rent, but shouldn't we be able to afford all that and still bank a lot of money? What are we doing wrong? Help" - Vanessa

"Is it true that credit scores really don't matter much? I have heard that obsessing over  your credit score is a pointless exercise and the importance of scores is overblown. Does 20 points difference matter much today?"
