Forget about stuffing cash in your mattress.. The way the U.S. fed is printing money willy nilly, we'd be better off in something other than U.S. currency. We need to stop the inflation machine! yet another rate drop today… down to 1.65%

Considering inflation, this is a negative rate. Forget about stuffing cash in your mattress.. The way the U.S. fed is printing money willy nilly, we’d be better off in something other than U.S. currency.

We need to stop the inflation machine!

They've managed to drop their rates 0.55% YTD. It wouldn't bother me so much if they at least pretended they cared about the customer and sent a notification beforehand. Conveniently, they manage to always change the rate before the end of the month! ING Direct was dropped again on the 18th to a dismal 1.85%. They’ve managed to drop their rates 0.55% YTD.

I just recently switched to FNBO for my primary savings. As long as they keep their rates within the top tier of the online banks, I'll be sticking with them. Their customer service is excellent and I like the security of their safe and sound rating by Bankrate. Time to update those FNBO Direct rates on your site.

At least we don't have to worry about inflation... for now. In another few months it might actually start to make sense to keep your money under the mattress.

Why do I keep saving if I'm not earning any interest on it? I miss the good old days. I got the email earlier today too, it made me very depressed.
