The cost to overdraw a bank account could drop to as little as $3 under a proposal announced by the White House, the latest effort by the Biden administration to combat fees it says pose an unnecessary burden on American consumers, particularly those living paycheck to paycheck.
The change could potentially eliminate billions of dollars in fee revenue for the nation’s biggest banks, which were gearing up for a battle even before Wednesday’s announcement. Exactly how much revenue depends on which version of the new regulation is adopted.

It’s not a well worded response but it’s a valid response.
“Oh I’m focused … You know look, I have trouble even believing how old I am. I don’t give thought to my age any more than I give thought to flying. There aren’t things that I avoid doing now that I did before … physically, mentally, etc.”
Another way of phrasing it, I’m focused … This whole thing is silly, I don’t even think about it. I do all the stuff I did when I was younger now. I’m only old on the outside."
