Panhandling fees have certainly gone up!

Went to get a bite to eat today and buy some new shoes and a panhandler out on the street asked me for $100.00. I guess the inflation is hitting them hard also.

On the panhandling subject...
I used to live in SLC. Apparently you have to buy a license to panhandle up there. Funny thing is, some of those guys make more money doing that than I do.
We have no fees as long as we keep - sm
$1K in the account at all times, it it falls below that (they average the total and divide by the number of days in the month) then they nail us for $7, but that is it though did have free checks too until last time, noticed they charged $30 for one box of checks (these are the plain green ones). Guess I should make sure they did no mess up and charge me by mistake but figured it probably was not a mistake. We also get charged $3 a month in our savings account but have that over the min. now so that is no more.
Not charged any fees for any banking
Once you get my age you get benefits of no fees. Love these golden years!

Maybe, if agency lying, you can get any fees back

You are not obligated to pay doc fees, licensing, tax, admin
Whatever you do, go in with confidence. Tell them you will not pay for those fees; that is the obligation alone of the car dealership, not you. And don't fall for fees for undercarriage protection, etc. Look at the invoice price....state what you can/will pay and be firm. AND, if they want to sell a car bad enough, ask for an extended warranty WITHOUT you having to pay for it. You can always play the "I've got another car I'm looking at another dealership" card...
Just stay firm with what you are willing to pay. Let them know that is ALL you can pay and whatever you do, no matter how nervous you may feel with all that garbage talk they feed you, come across calm, cool, and collected. If the guy doesn't think he is going to get his way, he may push the manager for the price you are willing to pay!
Also, look at the same make and model online and see what other prices are put out there, so you can go in with a fair price and let them know, if they start pushing a higher price, that you CAN find it at a lower price.
GOOD LUCK!
Agree can be hidden fees no matter where bought.
