--- Quote from: Milayna on 06 Sep 2018, 09:50 ---It boggles my mind that Marten has managed to make it to 20-something-adult years old by sewing money into the mattress. I've had a savings account since I was like, 10. My primary savings - and my credit card - are still with the federal credit union I signed up for as a middle school student.

What's the AYR on your account? Google sez best current rate for a standard savings account is 1.85% - with inflation in the U.S at 2.9%

Probably .1% or something. The savings account page on the CU's website has a big splashy table of their various specialty schemes but nothing specifically about plain old savings accounts. The closest thing to that is the summary at the top which says nothing really except that it's $5 to open one
Yeah, looked in my savings account activity summary, .1%. Maybe it's higher if there's more money in it, I only have 1700, so I get a few pennies
Emperor Norton:
Honestly, other than an emergency fund, if you have ANY debt, you are better off paying off debt than putting money in savings anyway.
(I mean, even paying off a house or car faster is getting you a better return on your money than savings).
no one special:
When I saw that they were at a bank, my first thought was that they were at a blood bank, that Marten had won the argument/discussion.

That's why offset mortgages are so good.
Zebediah:
Every now and then I try to match places in QC Northampton with their real-life counterparts. “Fitzsimmons” in panel 1 isn’t just an Agents of SHIELD reference; it’s also a reference to the real Fitzwilly’s Restaurant on Main Street in Northampton.
