50 ways they grab your money

For mental health reasons, we had to abort the enumeration after ten entries. 

The good news is, we had no problem whatsoever to come up with all listed items in about 0.9 seconds.

The bad news is, we had no problem whatsoever to come up with all listed items in about 0.9 seconds.

At around .4 seconds, we noticed the first tell tale signs of agitation and irritation in our test subject, a medium size, medium age, medium educated, mostly white, male.

At .8 seconds, the supervisor gave the abort sign.

Here is the result up to and including .9 seconds:
1) Early termination fee of 150 dollars, when work to terminate is worth about 1 dollar
2) 15 to 30 percent interest on money the bank gets at 0 %.
3) Minus .1 percent interest, yes, minus. In Europe
4) Going cashless and then charging an arm and a leg on transactions
5) Anything sold by Apple (says a long time Apple user)
6) ????????????
8) Tax breaks for filthy rich companies
9) Taking student loan payments out of social security benefits
10) Being directed to the MSN home page on logout from outlook.com. No, not free -- time is money.
