Learning About Online Bank Accounts

I’ve been looking into online banks lately. I’ve had enough of big local banks. Lousy rates and high fees - why stick with them? It’s time for a change, so I’m going to try something new. It’s your money, after all, and the banks make money off it just by virtue of having it. It hardly seems right that they would nickel and dime you to death with fees on top of it. Check out Washington Mutual Online Banking for example. Their rates are way higher than anything you can get at the big corporate banks. And banking online is easier than dealing with lines at tellers anyway. I know some people have issues with not being able to meet their bankers in person, but honestly I don’t really care about that. If you’re not earning a good return, you might want to check them out as well. I’m sure I’ll have more to say about this down the line.

About SEP IRA Plans

Learned today that my employer offers
SEP IRA Plans instead of 401ks. I know nothing about them. Time to do some research.
In particular, I need to know more about Sep Retirement. There’s some decent stuff on the net about it, but it’s hard to stay focused on it. This stuff is just so dry and dull.
At least I’ll save some money on taxes. That bite the government takes out of my paycheck just keeps getting more and more painful every year.

Online Bank Accounts

Bank of America stinks, just so you know. I’ve been using them for years just because they have ATMs all over town, but now I’m checking out online banks. There are much better deals to be had there. Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you are lending your money to the bank with these accounts, and they ought to be paying you. It’s not like you get to charge the bank fees when they loan you money, after all. I poked around the net, and settled on WaMu Online Personal Checking as the best option out there. They pay great rates, and don’t charge those ridiculous fees. I know some people have issues with not being able to meet their bankers in person, but honestly I don’t really care about that.

Also payday loans are only short term. Some lenders who will offer a 30 day payday loan might give some conditions like paying half of the amount in two weeks, and the rest in another two weeks. Also they will be likely to charge a higher interest rate.
