Madison MoneySports - Personal Finance Thread

[Senor_Taylor]

With Justin making the Purchase decision thread, I think the other major theme of my catastrophe of a thread was personal finance. We don't have a thread for this already, right? We have a stock market thread, but I don't know if that is broad enough.

So everyone has convinced me to get a new CC, which I did last night, so now I'm looking for a bank. What's everyone's opinion on PNC? What's their presence like nationwide?

Also, what are some things a normal recent grad doesn't think to do financially but should? What's something you wish you did when you graduated? Let's avoid "Live in a hut, spend no money, eat lentils." please. I like my income, but I'd really like to supplement is somehow, some way.
