One way that you could be slowly and yet significantly affecting your finances negatively is by not reading all the fine prints of any financial products that you sign up for. One example is getting an instant access savings account, you may argue that a lot of people have these and there is nothing evil about them but you may be surprised that they have a set a limit on the number of times you can cause withdrawals; any time you go over that set limit, you are then charged fee for every withdrawal that you make.

Why, even those moist towelettes on your table could be charged to your bill if you open them thinking that they are there for free. They are not and rest assured that you will be charged for every moist towelette that you open.
