I was at a store with my friends sister, just night before last. I was trying to get her to leave, before my Dark Chocolate Klondike Bars melted, while she was still trying to find excuses to keep shopping.

A savings account that earns 5%!? When was this strip written? You’re luck to get more than 0.2% these days. US Bank is currently offering 0.01% (yes, one tenth of one percent). Low overhead online accounts can get you a very high and exciting 1.00%.
