its called take a look at the economy, if you have under 20k theres no reason to have a saving account.  Youre basicly giving an interest free loan to the bank, that youre gona make a minimum of 5% off of.  The safest place to keep your money is under your bed, at least you have controle over it with no charges.  With that being said, I took a 1000 i got for college graduation this spring opened up a saving account to be resonsible...my interest payment on it was $.02.  Going on vacation and had bills to pay to its closer to 0.00 right now

Gona be 22 after- student loans, cc, im wayyy in the red

Time to look for a better paying interest rate. Last year I made $36 on my savings account. That isn't that much, but I dont have that much in it. But over time, pennies turn into dollars, those dollars start making interest as well. It's a long term thing, not a short term thing. Under the bed is a horrible place. I've actually lived in a house that caught on fire. I was lucky enough to have one of the 2 rooms that weren't destroyed.

Maybe you should work on your saving skills rather than trying to justify a lack there of.

I'm 21 and I have about $350 in my account. Paying for ACL surgery deductible/ PT copays really drained my shit. Hopefully I should be back to work in the next two weeks though and start saving again.

check out Ingdirect.com....savings with 1% APR

but yea, if you have $1000 might as well keep that in your checking with .05% than your .1% savings account, the hassle and time devoted to transferring money over to checking each time you need to make a big payment is not worth the amount you will make on interest if kept in savings

24 - $500 that I can actually spend, and $6000 I need to be save for the future

Little broke after a couple of pricey months so I'm hoping that me tightening up the wallet will actually get me to save some scratch.

Seems like no-one is saving these days.

I'm 24, my bank balance is my business.
I keep a set amount in my cheque a/c for spending and then each payday I'll pay my bills, top up my cheque a/c and the rest will go into some form of savings.

BURN? its the principle of it, I'm not going to let a bank give me 1% and have to abide by their minimums, fees, regulations, when at the same time they turn around and make 20% on MY money.  The banking industry is a complete fraud, yes I have a saving account and i punch my self everyday for it.  Save your self the hassle, invest in a fireprooof safe, save in real assets like gold and silver, as the dollar depreciates my real assets will keep going up. FDIC can kiss my ass, when the financial world goes to shit good luck getting your money back from the bank, becasue you know there is no set time limit on when they have to return your cash, you could be waiting for years. 

And congrats on your 1%, if you account for inflation your'e actually losing money, so congratulations on your amazing saving skill  , ill stick to my "lack there of" saving skills.

I couldn't bring my self to take financial advise for a woman...o sorry might have went to far there, you gotta understand this is nsg though.
sorry to hear about your house too, glad your ok
