We hold these truths to be self-evident, that if we are honest and hard-working we will have the opportunity to pursue the American dream. We believe that fine-print-bullies and big banks should not compromise our rights life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We celebrate the ability to spend our money how we want, and the freedom from hidden fees, scams, and injustices.
The Fourth of July was once only a celebration of America’s independence from Britain. But today, it’s even more. The day (and really the whole week/weekend) is full of parades, barbecues, and fireworks that represent our gratitude for the families, communities, and American traditions that we’re free to enjoy. We celebrate our nation’s hard-earned independence just as much as our own personal freedoms and the ability to overcome tyranny.
We Shall Overcome Unexpected Costs
Each year more than $25 BILLION is spent by Americans on hidden fees. From credit cards and vacation resorts to 401K’s and student loans, unexpected costs add up. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has handled over 1.1 Million+ complaints, and hidden fees are the number one consumer complaint.
But Americans will not stand idly by. One of our strongest characteristics as a people is the ability to overcome tyranny and injustice together. (There was even a harbor in Boston full of tea to prove this.) We have the protection of the CFPB, an unwavering belief in standing up for what is right, and we utilize all the resources we’re given.
The sharing of information online has become a crucial resource for financial well-being. Therefore, consumers know that unexpected fees have surprised others who will readily share their story. And “those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.” Online calculators and contract review apps like FeeBelly also make it easy to get peace of mind from costly terms.
