"Bank of America is Milking Taxpayers…Three Times"

January 29, 2009

Got this flyer while walking past a Bank of America an hour ago…

January 28, 2009

Keeping daily tabs on your accounts are good for the financial soul ;) Not everyone enjoys doing it these days – esp with some in particular (*cough* 401ks, *cough* mutual funds) – but I find it important to do, even if only once a week instead.

POOP! What about my USAA? According to all of the wedding checks we got from our friends and family, it only ranks in 5th place :( Turns out most of them prefer Wachovia, Bank of America, and PNC. Oh well, at least we got some extra $$$ to help start our married [...]

February 27, 2008

Ever since I was a teen I can remember having a USAA account for car insurance. I never really cared all too much back then, (i wasn’t even paying the bills!) but NOW’s a whole different story. I am completely proud to use USAA today, and thankful beyond words to my parents for [...]
