Just thought it’d be a good idea for me to keep track of where my money is:

Emigrant-Direct 4.25% American Dream Savings Account $101.67

BofA Primary Checking $44.44

BofA Regular Savings $300.82

PayPal Balance $22.00

Total: $468.93

Other variable assets:

Stocks~$1000

Liabilities

Student Loans $8000

Credit Card paid off in full each month-$0

If anyone is looking for a place to put their money in a savings account, I strongly recommend a high-yield online savings account such as those offered by Emigrant-Direct, ING, HSBC, and now CitiBank.

A quick comparison of the four as of April 17, 2006:

Emigrant Direct 4.5%

ING Direct’s Orange Savings Account 3.8%

Citibank e-Savings 4.5%

HSBC 4.8%

I didn’t even know that about the online savings accounts. Thanks good to know.

Appreciate you checking out the YGG blog, but I’m just one of the few writers who write for this blog, and trust the others are much better writers than me. But I do really like your blog and what your doing.

Thanks Maurice :)
