Take your penny and shove it Wamu, Chase… whatever

I’ve had checking and savings accounts since my mom took me down to the ghetto credit union when I was ten. And since that day, I’ve been obsessed with keeping track of my funds.

Never paid a bill late, keep all my receipts… really, I’m unncessarily over the top.

The wifey and I opened an ING money market account four years ago because of it’s close to 5 percent interest rate. Because the economy is in the toilet, it’s somewhat tanked, but compared to our Washington Mutual savings account that I looked at this afternoon, it’s INCREDIBLE.

Every month when I update our savings accounts, I want to punch the screen. You know how much we raked in from Wamu in interest last month?

1 CENT! One motherfreaking cent!

They might as well write F YOU on my balance ledger.

I want to wait until the end of the year, withdraw my 12 earned cents, then walk into Wamu and flick the pennies at the tellers.

ING is to like Wamu as Susan Boyle is to Fergie.
