| Here in America, opening checking and savings accounts have minumum startup deposits. On top of that, checking accounts have monthly fees (like $20) if you have less than a certain amount (like $500). If you don't get either of the two, you can't deposit checks from employment except at check-cashing places, which charge anywhere from 5-10% of the total amount of the check to cash it, and to send money orders costs an additional 5% of the total amount that you're sending. Either way, it's expensive to be poor.
