When I first moved to the US as a student from Germany I kept most my money in Euro cache and only covered what I needed in the coming weeks because the Euro kept going up pretty quickly. I will never forget how furious I was when I got an overdraft fee. It took my wife quite a while to even explain the concept to be because it seemed so completely nonsensical coming from Germany. In Germany the bank would be set on fire for this by leftists.
