Well...Canada's not far
The coon would be right up in the coop as well. Bye bye chickens.
I've been a member of the CU that was originally the New England IBM Credit Union (now New England Federal Credit Union) since I started working in '79. Kelsey, CUs are member owned and usually have better interest rates than banks.
As was mentioned, make sure you get a no fee account, you don't want to pay every time you write a check. Now as to which one kind of account to get ... don't limit yourself to one. I think the 4 of us have a total of 14 or 15 accounts including savings, checking, credit card, Power, mortgage. Lots of places require a savings account to have a checking account. A debit card (doubles as an ATM card) is usually linked to the checking account. You can also have a Power account, they pay higher interest (they have a higher minimum to get interest) but you are limited to just a few withdrawals a month so you don't use it for daily purchases. Don't link the Power account (where you keep the bulk of your savings) to the ATM card for withdrawal. If someone gets the card, you don't want them having access to the "big vault".
My DDs have checking accounts but never write checks. They have no bills to pay and when they buy something at a store they use the debit feature on the checking account. MAKE SURE you keep track of how much money is in the account!! Kind of embarrassing when your debit card is turned down at the registerAlso, and this may seem obvious but wasn't to a friend of DW's many years back, if you write a check, it isn't immediately removed from your account like a debit charge is. The friend bounced a ton of checks because the ATM "said" she had money to take out and she did. Then the checks got to the bank, oops not enough money.
You want an account at an establishment that has ATMs near where you often go and no fee to use them. You can get cash from other bank/CU ATMs but you will pay a fee when you do.
I believe @N F C said they were VERY OLD women. She wouldn't fit in
If that's the case you'd think most of the US would have emigrated by now given that those "threats" are made every election!
Besides, it's the opposite, all the Canadian celebrities move to the US
True! And not too far from family. And everyone in Canada is very nice. I was more thinking one of the top 5 though
Like Finland or Norway sounds nice
I would love to make a trip out there (though I suppose I'd love to make a trip to lots of places...)
Well, if you're going to be picky!
Ya, the Scandinavian countries always seem to do well
Plus I heard schools are good and i think healthcares free? Though a lot of countries fit that bill lol
LOL I'm sure Canada is very nice! Just would be nice to live in the number one happiest country.
And yeah, I need to travel more. My brother has travelled sooo much.
Yeah, it'd be nice to explore. And aw what happened
