I added up all the interest that I earned on my different accounts this past month. I have a money market account, 2 C.D.'s, an ING account, a business checking (that pays interest) and another small money market account. All it total, the accounts earned me $2242.92 in interest!(for the month of June)

I closed a small savings account yesterday. I had opened it a few years ago when the bank was offering a pretty good rate.
Last year, my local bank started offering 5.25% rate on a money market, so I took most of the money out of that account and opened a new account.

I let the old account sit there because they only pay interest every 3 months and I had several hundred coming due to me. Since then, I have just let the account sit there.
I noticed yesterday that this account is only paying me 1% interest. It is only $1300, but still I am losing money.
I closed the account yesterday and will be adding that $1300 to my money market account this coming week.

Do any of you have any little accounts just sitting around? I have another little money market account with about $1000 just sitting too. As so as I get a new bank link with ING, I am going to close that one too. I have too many account!

I generally figure out my net worth the first day of every month. This month, it was up about $2500. Actually, my mutual funds went down. It was only because I had a real good saving month that my net worth increased. I used to have all most all of my savings in mutual funds and in stocks. Over the past five years, since we have been building spec houses, I have had to increase our cash savings. It is kind of fun to see that interest added in each month. All in all, June was not a bad month.

Bi Lo is so good to put steak on sale almost every weekend. That is usually what we eat on Sunday nights. This week, rib eye steak was on sale. I got two and saved $5 to go into my challenge money.
