They ensure that the companies won't abuse their power over the consumer.


Since I am an international student, my parents will have to pay more money so I can have a place to live, a school to study, or groceries. Because I have a lot to spend, owning a bank account is essential. Putting my money in the bank saves me a lot of time; I can pay for everything by tapping instead of counting paper money. Also, I feel way safer when my money is in the bank!

As an International student, I have to pay taxes for everything I buy too!
