Money Monday: Savings Accounts

I’ve got your back when it comes to credit cards, but now I’m soliciting advice, shopping for the highest rate on a savings account. Anyone got one?

I currently have the majority of my cash parked in Smarty Pig, the online piggy bank that was giving me 1.1%. I read about Smarty Pig through the Wall Street Journal. Well the savings account is still giving me 1.1% because the reduced rate doesn’t kick in until Friday. I’m in the process of moving the money into a Capital One savings account paying 0.85%. I learned about that through an email promotion.

Whatcha got? Let’s hear it.

As we head into the New Year, I’ve been keeping a closer eye on my stock portfolio, harvesting losses for tax purposes. Where am I going to put those funds?
