As we cope with the inflation now, Bank interest is no longer as attractive as other investments. Do you have your savings in a Fixed Deposit account? Is that worth doing?
I spread my money out. We have a 401K through my husband's employer, we have certificates of deposit with varying maturity dates, and we keep some in a money market account, which pays a fairly decent rate. I don't keep much at all in a standard savings account because the interest there is pathetic.
