    My bank offered me an overdraft but I refused it

    IMHO it's not my money to spend if I don't have it I don't spend it.

    I have my bills set to go out a few days after my wages so if there was ever an error I'd have a few days breathing space to get it corrected so I really don't see the need for me to have one. I also have a totally separate account for all my bills to come out of so if a payment is late it won't bother me as the money will just continue to sit there until they take it
