Looks like I will have to sort through my junk mail and find me one of those I threw away.
What worries about online banks that aren't close by is that they will just shut down and my money is gone. Several that were really popular becuase they didn't have any fees and such, were around about 5 years and then poof! gone.
How would you ever re-coup your losses?
I am sure it wouldn't hurt to have a couple of savings accounts.

Really, they do it here for free, they don't want it rolled up at all.
Bee, I was a little leery of on line banks too, but ING is fdic insured and it is a really BIG bank and has been around a while. You can also bank by mail, which is why I joined. Because I do not know how to bank by internet only.
Also, once in a while they offer you a free $10 if you bring in a new member and I have done this twice. (bb's joining did not make me any money)
I also do online surveys and make money that way. I got a $5 check and a $10 check last week.
Come on gang, let's get rich!

Send us the survey links.
The banks here are great. If you have an acccunt just sort it out into sandwich bags and take it in with a deposit slip.

I just carry mine in a paper bag, all mixed together. They dump it into a coin counter and give me the paper money.

The only frugal thing I ve done in a long time is stop eating, after seeing Maddy at the wine tasting, I joined weightwatchers.

That is a very frugal thing to do Mac. I wish I could do that as easily as I can save money.

No way MAC, you joined WW. Good for you.
Mine is up the 14th of November. It's getting to close to Christmas and birthday's to pay for it.
Men lose weight faster than women, it's not fair.
I have the books and stuff if you want to borrow them.

You know, I have gotten tons of compliments, but this touched me. I don't know why, but it just touched me. Thank you!!! Good luck, too. I am still fighting the battle, but instead of 100 lbs, it's a mere 15-20 to go now. |

Well, I didn't spend a sweet penny today. And I am painting my own bathroom so that saves and the paint I am using I bought last month when it had a $5 rebate.

I skipped lunch today, that saved me a few bucks and maybe from gaining another pound or two.

Wow, Mac that is great. I thought you looked just right before you lost weight! I stayed home all day yesterday and spent nothing, didn't even use any gasoline.

My biggest problem is having to learn how to eat, I can still eat everything but in drastic moderation. Diebetes runs in my family and its a wonder I don't have it.
