PLEASE HELP, I NEED ANSWER BY THIS WEEKEND Janet feels like it would be boring to just open an account at the same local bank her parents use, so she heads to her friend Tamir’s lunch table the next day at school to ask for his advice. Janet says:

“Tamir, once I get a summer job, I basically just need a place to cash my paycheck every two weeks. I’ll probably take out most of the money immediately afterward so I have cash for snacks and other stuff like that. Though, I’m excited to have a debit card so I can shop online, too. What should I do? And do you have any clue if I can keep this same bank account once I go off to college? Or do I need to look for something new?”

Answer This:
What features should Tamir tell Janet to look for when choosing her new checking account?

Is there any other advice Tamir should offer based on details Janet has shared so far?

Would most standard bank accounts work for Janet based on her banking needs? Why or why not?
