I finally quit checking my bank app 30 times a day, and my old system was way worse
I used to open my bank app every single morning at 6am before I even got out of bed, just to make sure nothing weird happened overnight. Now I only look at it once a week on Sunday nights, and honestly the panic feeling is gone. What changed was back in March I got hit with a $35 overdraft fee from a $4 coffee because I wasn't watching the pending charges close enough. My brother in law does the opposite and checks his balance at least 20 times a day, says it keeps him calm. Which side are you on, do you feel better checking constantly or staying away from it?

Checking constantly is honestly smarter when you have a tight budget, because a $4 coffee turning into a $35 fee means you can't afford to be surprised. Your brother in law stays calm because he never gets blindsided, and avoiding the app just means the problem is still there waiting.
