Sink your money into something that actually earns a real interest rate, like shares in Mr. Buffett's company. If you're not making 6-8% on savings in a bank you're being a sucker (and if you are I want the name of your bank!). I guarantee the banks are making way better than their paying. Of course this all presumes you actually have money worth investing.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Sorry, to jump in with my opinion.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Please carry on,</span></div><div><span>Brian Jack<br></span></div><div><br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times,

href="mailto:info-member@fsf.org">info-member@fsf.org</a><br>><br>><br>> Free Software Foundation members living in the US are now eligible to<br>> join the Digital Federal Credit Union for their banking, thanks to DCU<br>> approving us as a participating organization. DCU is, like the FSF, a<br>> nonprofit headquartered in Massachusetts, with members in all 50<br>> states.<br>><br>> * Sign-up with DCU: <<a href="http://www.dcu.org/" target="_blank">http://www.dcu.org/</a>><br>> * Share this story: <<a href="http://ur1.ca/57wgw" target="_blank">http://ur1.ca/57wgw</a>><br>><br>> We are working to be able to offer this same opportunity to the many<br>> members living in other countries as well, but so far we have not been<br>> able to find appropriate partner organizations. If you know of a<br>> credit union in your country that would be willing to work with us<br>> please let us
know at <<a ymailto="mailto:membership@fsf.org" href="mailto:membership@fsf.org">membership@fsf.org</a>>!<br>><br>> Credit unions are cooperative and often nonprofit financial<br>> institutions which provide the same services as banks, but because<br>> they are member-owned, there can be dramatic differences from banks in<br>> the cost of borrowing money and use of their services. DCU is both<br>> nonprofit and democratically controlled, which means you and other<br>> members elect a volunteer board of directors to run things. The<br>> management then reports to this board.<br>><br>> If you'd like to take advantage of this benefit, head to<br>> <<a href="https://www.dcu.org/" target="_blank">https://www.dcu.org/</a>> and complete their application.<br>><br>><br>> *Thank you to Danny Piccirillo, who did the work to make this possible<br>> while interning at the FSF last year.*<br>>
