Hot take: overdraft fees are a trap, but the bank's app pushed me into them

For 8 months I kept my checking balance at $40 because the app's 'low balance' alert only fired at $50, so I thought I was safe. Then a $7 coffee shop charge in Denver triggered a $34 fee and I realized the real mistake was treating their warning as my budget. Is the fix better alerts or just ditching the overdraft 'protection' altogether?

And people say apps can't pick your pocket.
