Buddy at the bank told me to switch credit unions and I brushed him off for a year
A guy I know who works at a local credit union kept telling me mine was screwing me over with fees. I ignored him because I figured all banks are the same. Then I finally looked at my statements and saw I paid $180 in random maintenance fees and ATM charges in 6 months. I switched to his place last month and haven't paid a single fee since. Anyone else have a friend who turned out to be right about banking stuff?

Pulled that move last week with my brother. He swore up and down his used car was a steal, but I kept saying the transmission was gonna go. Three weeks later, he's calling me from a tow truck asking for a ride to the shop. I didn't even say it loud, just handed him the number for my old mechanic and gave him the look. Now he's asking me to check out his next purchase.

Took me three years to finally listen to my buddy about switching internet providers. He kept saying I was paying double for half the speed. I figured it was just his thing, you know, always trying to optimize something. Eventually I checked and he was dead on. I was paying $110 a month for 50mbps and switched to a different company for $60 and got 300mbps. Felt pretty dumb but at least I saved a bunch of money after that.
