We act...Jen- We bank through a local credit union. We actually started a "Certificate Builder" which allows you to open a short-term CD with a minimal starting balance. Since we were pretty broke when we opened it, we only put $50 in to start. Then we started taking money from every paycheck. Since it is shorter term, it doesn't gain as much interest as a longer-term CD, but this way our money wasn't locked up with penalties if we needed to access it either. It was a 6-month certificate builder. Now that we have increased our balance significantly, we will likely roll it over to a longer-term, higher interest CD. Hope that helps!Fitness Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447570244762160565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2533154879238981044.post-88325951825178328032009-10-20T10:32:09.992-06:002009-10-20T10:32:09.992-06:00This is such a great list!This is such a great list!Snow Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298348692908880724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2533154879238981044.post-91396760514145163562009-10-20T06:52:40.568-06:002009-10-20T06:52:40.568-06:00Great ideas FB - can you tell me what bank you use...Great ideas FB - can you tell me what bank you used for the CD? I am in the process of researching places to put our long term savings - like yours was when you started, it's minimal right now, but I want to contribute monthly. Let me know, I'd love to look into it!Jen J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10655234776286896734noreply@blogger.com
