the plan for a foodie's stomach

Feb 09, 2007 11:06

via hsbc online savings account 5.85% rate, i am starting a "gourmet foodie places to eat" savings fund. money from this fund will be spent on dining experiences (and splurges) at restaurants on my foodie wish list. note: because expensive does not necessarily equal high quality, places like blowfish (aka blow-chunks) and koi are not on the list ( Read more... )

hey, i have one of those funds! i call it "my paycheck minus rent."

miki February 10 2007, 06:29:18 UTC

well jay, i unfortunately lack the baller status that you have. sadly, my paycheck minus loans minus bare necessities = 0

but one can dream!

huong February 12 2007, 15:55:18 UTC

hey what is hsbc? how do i sign up for that crazy rate? i thought my 5.45 was good.

miki February 10 2007, 06:27:35 UTC

6.0% is promotional until april 29, 2007. so for that period, the rate averages 5.85%. try www.hsbcdirect.com

after the promotional period, it's only 5.05%

who do you bank w/ to get that 5.45??

chromemolly February 10 2007, 07:17:58 UTC

I personally HATED HSBCdirect for the sole reason that their web banking services are convoluted and crazy. Multiple passwords and logins, etc.

Paypal is 50x easier and the current rate is 5.02%.

hmmm.. how is paypal with withdrawals/transfers? as in, if it's more liquid than hsbc, i'm so there.
