Always Check Your Statements
I make it a habit to always check my statements. I have been double charged two times at different restaurants, which would have cost $150 had I not checked.
In another instance, I discovered a charge for a car wash that was dated the same day that a hurricane hit TV. I had been to the car wash a few weeks prior, guess someone there got bored and decided to make a little extra money.
Bottom line is that errors and fraud are common, and simply checking you statement can save you some significant costs. It's been worth the effort for me.
