I hope this worked for you. I am going to try it too. Yes, those overdraft fees are nasty, and the tempation to swipe (that debit card) is overwhelming.

This is a great system for me, last month we had to pay over $280 to my bank in fees for overdrafts, the month before that it was $35. Obviously my hubby and I can’t handle the debit card, we don’t understand the order of charges applied and it messes us up horribly. We have given up on having good credit, but we still need to be able to manage our monthly bills and living expenses, we are trying this system on payday this month. We need to see personal finance success badly!
