6. Choosing a Financial Institution
Dakota is thinking about
changing banks
. He
has a part-time job at a supermarket
. Some-
times he works late hours, and
he would
like
the convenience of being able to make depos-
its and withdrawals at any time. He needs
cash for food and gas, and he writes only
two checks a month-to his music
CD
club
account and to his credit card company. Soon
he will need to take out a loan to buy a car. He
also wants to put aside some money to pay for
technical school.
