Rate Chasing 101: Do you have the personality for it?

June 16, 2009

Do you spend hours each week searching for the best interest rates around? Do you bounce from one bank to another, living on the thrill of that extra .01%? If so, you, my friend, are a rate chaser. And you also have a lot of time & patience ;) Many PF Bloggers consider this on [...]

"Bank of America is Milking Taxpayers…Three Times"

January 29, 2009

Got this flyer while walking past a Bank of America an hour ago… If you click to enlarge it, you’ll see some pretty compelling evidence against them regarding bail-outs. No idea how one-sided this is or anything, but it can’t be good for business. Gotta love freedom of speech :)

Hell yeah I check my bank accounts every day! Why not?

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.

December 9, 2008

…if he knew what people were doing to him! Oh man, you have to read this. My girl PJ over at Broke in The Suburb posted about her days as a bank teller, and let me tell you, it puts a whole ‘nother perspective on things! I won’t give it away, but let’s just say [...]

September 10, 2008

That is exactly what someone plugged into a search engine to get to my site! I love it – bad grammar and all. I often get some pretty weird ones like “sexy girl and boy in the closet” or “public restrooms in czech republic”, and a handful that would make Ron Jeremy blush, but they’re [...]

USAA Now shares 2nd place in our wedding Bank Battle!

June 26, 2008

That’s right, miraculously we’re STILL getting wedding checks sent our way :) I guess that “1 year to give a gift” rule is pretty common these days. Not that i really care one way or the other, i just find it pretty funny. This rule doesn’t apply to birthdays, graduation,or Christmas so why weddings? I [...]

Wachovia, Bank of America, & PNC are really that popular?

June 13, 2008

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 lives, right?! This [...]

Why USAA is my very best friend & I heart them like woah!

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 hooking me [...]
