Holy shit. I know you said you won't let this happen again, but if it does, please promise to post about it. I think you owe yourself that indignity.

Should be easy enough to make ATT buckle if you tell them to either waive the fee or you'll take your business elsewhere.

Nice!

That sucks.

Congrats. The secret is to live well below your means, and saving & investing the difference. I never owned my own business, but I made pretty good money as a software consultant & engineer (with some moonlighting on the side).

It *could* be the difference between missing your flight or not. No guarantees.

Agreed. I'm not signing up.

Become a citizen then! Some things are easier for a country's citizens, get over it.
