MOVE YOUR MONEY

WHY SHOULD YOU MOVE YOUR MONEY?

Moving your money out of the big Wall Street banks to small community banks and credit unions is a great idea for a number of reasons: you will get better rates and fewer fees your comunity banker will learn your name and provide you with more personal service, and you will be keeping money in your local community which increases economic development and eventually, creates more jobs. Yet the most important reason to move your money is to make your voice heard, to stand strong and no longer help a banking system that has run amok

INVEST IN MAIN STREET, NOT WALL STREET

When you keep your money in a local financial institution, that money in turn is reinvested in local businesses, which is important for building a stable economy and encouraging local growth.

END TOO BIG TO FAIL

According to FDIC data, the largest 5 banks held 13% of US deposits in 1994, today they hold 38%. If the government wont step in and break them up, then we must move our money ourselves and end ”Too Big To Fail” once and for all.

FEWER FEES, MORE SAVINGS

More and more community banks and credit unions offer ATM surcharge-free networks, providing you with even more access to ATMs nationwide. Community banks and credit unions also charge on average less in fees, and often pay you higher interest on your accounts than big banks.

OMG

I CLEANED THE STUDIO

I cleaned the studio. And naturally was all ... oh, that's where that was. Oh I forgot I had that. Where did that come from?

Of course, there is a box behind me full of paper stuff to be gone through (just have to check for bills, etc, if they have to be shredded, etc.

I also found a neat origami pattern I might use for Holiday cards this year. Last year I did an illustrated card with origami crane ornament (it had to be only a few inches in length and be able to ship flat.)

I ALSO MAILED OUT MY BEADS FINALLY. they are in padded mailers so I hope they get to you okay, and why did sending one to Canada cost 40 cents less to shipping in the US??????

Only problem now is I feel very stuffed up, must be all the dust I raised, and possibly, no one looking in studio could tell that I've cleaned, cos I keep toys and fandom stuff and all my bits and bobs and ends and odds in here-Gackt stuff fills up two heavy typewriter paper boxes.
