That is so true! I found my local bank through this website and they are offering 4.01% annual which is way better than the measley less than 1% (.2% to be exact) that I was getting from my savings account.

There isn’t much of a catch other than most banks limit paying you the high interest rate on balances up to 25,000. They do that because they’re probably losing money just trying to get more business and keep more customers. Mosts of these are regional banks trying to grow.

I’m with Dave, wondering if anyone has used these high interest checking accounts. Never heard of these before. Seems like they could be legit as they are making the fees off of the debit card transactions. Reminds me of the PerkStreet.com debit card. Only there you receive cash back based on how much you spend. Any one other than Albert have any experience with any of these accounts?

I agree with paying off credit cards at 15% before keeping a lot of money in a savings account earning you 1.75%. But the first step should be saving $1000 and keeping it in a savings account. The reason behind this is not to get rich. However it is to build a “safety net” to catch those small rainy day events (new tires, repair an appliance) that will happen in your debt free journey. The $1000 is a safety net against using a credit card to cover these small expenses that will happen.
