College grads and other young adults in this economic downturn really don't have it easy. There's the horrendous job market. There's the fact that average incomes are sliding -- a burden that can negatively affect your entire lifetime of earnings. College tuition rates haven't budged, and contribute to steep debt loads upon graduation. There's the ballooning federal deficit and state budget problems -- and all that implies for the future of tax rates (higher) and government services (fewer). There's the murky outlook for Social Security and Medicare.
And now we can add one more to the list: No more free bank accounts.
