Free cash

So, you're standing at the ATM machine and your kid is wound around your ankles crying and the machine asks you

There is a $3.00 charge to use this machine, do you wish to continue?

 And you're thinking, no stupid machine, I'm standing here punching this button because I don't want to continue!

But wait!  There may be a change coming soon.  Seems that consumers are fed up with paying to access their own money.  Banks are making an estimated $4.2 billion per year charging us to access our own money (that's billion with a big B!).  But some banks are starting to realize this a public relations nightmare and are actually putting YOUR concerns before THEIR profit.  Smaller banks and credit unions in particular are willing to pay the machine servicers themselves rather than charge their customers.

To get a list of free ATM machines in your area you can go to either Moneypass or Allpoint.

 It's about time, don't you think?
