      "Firstly, one has to open a bank account."

      Is there anyone who has an income without a bank account? Or doesn't know that they should consider the interest rate and terms and features when opening a new one?

      This all seems like... simple, obvious advice. The kind of things a person learns at 11 when they get their first yardwork or babysitting job.
