I’m pretty sure I need it more. http://mortmort.com/2010/01/06/do-you-need-my-money-that-bad-im-pretty-sure-i-need-it-more/ By choice, I'm pretty much always connected. How I don't need glasses is beyond me! But this is where I talk about the discoveries I find while I'm here.

I never did not however, take advantage of the credit union and wonder in hind-site if it would have been advantageous. Back in college I used to be a part of a formal union.

I believe this was about three years ago. I haven't had any issues with them however, I found this special rate/offer quite curious; especially the way in which it was worded. It just feels misleading and that is what I take issue with. Thank you very much for your comment. It's up to each of us not to fall for overblown claims and to be judicious in where we put our money. Thanks for reading! Hi auonomousblogger,

Their savings rates are often a bit higher, but even if that's not important to you, they tend to be a lot more transparent than the big banks (it wouldn't be hard, would it?). Because they are member-owned they're also a lot more careful who they lend money to. I doubt any of them would be involved with the kind of practices that contributed to the economic crisis.

Plus, who would really put their money with Capital One? Thank you so much for not being a dumb consumer. Plus, who would really put their money with Capital One?
