Is it time to finally move on from [email protected] email address you signed up in college and get yourself one that sounds a little less… quirky? Then it might be time to learn how to migrate to a new Gmail address.

Maybe you'd have enough cash in your pocket — or another piece of plastic, such as a credit card — to cover the purchase anyway.  It's one strategy to take on those pesky overdraft fees. Complaints continue to mount over the strings of overdraft fees and the mysterious mind-numbing methods that banks use to process transactions and ultimately push some people into incurring even more fees.
