Remember when a savings account actually paid you enough to buy a CD? (The music kind, not the banking kind.)
We grew up in the era of actual interest rates—when banks didn’t treat your savings like they were doing you a favor.
Those days are back! High-yield savings accounts are now paying 4-5%, which means your emergency fund can finally earn more than a can of Tab cost in 1985.
Don’t let your cash sit in some dinosaur account earning 0.01% like it’s stuck in dial-up mode.
Shop around for high-interest savings accounts like you once hunted for the best Columbia House deals—your future self will thank you. Because unlike our slap bracelets, compound interest never goes out of style.
The bottom line: If your savings aren’t working harder than a Saved by the Bell laugh track, it’s time to switch accounts.
