Good golly, the kids' passbook savings are earning right now a whoppin' 1/20th of 1%. It takes $2000 in the bank for them to earn a dollar of interest in a year. <br /><br />We too miscalculated very much on our taxes, and got back a refund bigger than we usually pay in for the whole year's worth of estimated taxes. But I was in no hurry to get it to the bank. Even with our "high interest" account, I figure the gas money to take the check to the nearby bank was more than we would've earned in interest for those weeks that the [quite large] check sat on my desk until we happened to be driving through that part of town on another errand.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307213773466556564noreply@blogger.com
