I know part of living frugal means spending as little as possible. I have a standard savings account but I never use it. I feel like the way banks are these days, they hardly make it worth putting my money into a savings account. When I was younger, I remember the interest rate (for having money in your savings) was a lot better, you would actually see a good increase. Now, it takes hundreds of dollars just to see a buck or two. Hardly seems worth it.

Regardless of interest, it is still good to have. I like to use mine as a “just in case” thing. I have a few thousand in mine at all times so if something comes up be it auto issues, medical issues, or an emergency of any kind, I have the money sitting there if I need it in a pinch. Better than taking out a loan!

Yeah I have two, since I have two different bank accounts. They kind of make you have one these days when you sign up for a bank so if you find a bank that has it as an option, expect them to be charging insane fees for overdrafts!

Some people would argue you are better off taking your extra income and putting it in crypto because the USD is going to crash. I mean, the way they are printing money and handing it out to people who just don’t want to work… I feel like it is only a matter of time before that bubble breaks and a lot of us get screwed over.
