Since I finally decided to close my FNBO Direct account, I’ve been thinking a lot about the multitude of savings accounts that I’ve created over the last few years.

I just performed a complete overhaul of the savings rate wiki. It was in dire need of an update, and bank rates have been dropping so frequently that almost every existing rate changed. Wow. Some highlights Dollar Savings Direct is no longer 4.00%. Oh how far the mighty has fallen! It is now down to [...]
