I dunno. I just wanted to say that in reality all of these fancy saving accounts in dollars burn your money. You lose your money keeping it there. That`s all.

Come on appfunds. Where do you want me to put my emergency fund? In gold? Stocks? What about the Euro?

There is a difference between savings and investing.

Thanks for including it, Jim. I also prefer to donate to an organization which helps with world health.

The LNT bankruptcy saddens me a bit because we’ve gotten some good stuff there. But I never held on to the gift cards. Relief there, because sometimes I do….for my favorite crafts store I’ll spend them over a year.

Look at real inflation rate in the US.
If you keep your money in any savings account, you burn it anyway.
