I used to have 20,000 dollar credit card limits and automatic credit. But I was forced to start over, and now I am just me. Life can be a real son of a bitch. Good luck to me, you, and everyone else--we need it...

That's a smart thing to do! I hadn't thought of that, earning interest on a CD and letting that provide you with overdraft protection. And I think you come out way ahead. Overdraft fees are sky high and banks are hurting, so they're looking for any excuse to charge fees.
