Banking on good advice

I talked to my financial advisor last week. You remember, that great guy who helped me get a terrific rate and refinance my home in less than a week when I found myself in a financial bind a while back? Yeah, that’s the one. He really got me out of a tight spot. For that I will be forever in his debt. What we talked about last week was savings in general and where I should put my money in particular. He provided me with some information about the various plans he offers and emailed me some rate tables. His absolute best rate is currently 2.97% with a minimun savings balance of $5000.00. As much as I love the guy, I can’t do it. I’ve worked hard for my money. I need it to work hard for me. I can’t afford to put my savings with him when I’ve discovered this: Online banking interest rate comparisons at SavingsAccounts.com will help you find the best high yield online savings account or checking account. It’s true. I just checked the online rate tables. I can get a 6% saving rate on a new account with no monthly fees and no minimum balance. My fabulous banker encouraged me to shop around for the best rates before making my decision. I’m glad I did. I’m still his biggest fan, but my savings account needs to be where it can do me the most good. I’m sure he’ll understand that. He’ll probably also think that the timing was perfect when I came across this offer from savingsaccount.com to provide them with a sponsored post.
