Have you checked the yield on your savings account lately?  If you have a regular savings account with the local bank you are probably getting less than 1/2% interest on your money.  Worse than that, they may be charging you a monthly fee if you don't meet their minimum balance requirements.  If you have a regular savings account with a credit union you are still probably getting less than 1% interest on your money.  If you think 1% interest is the best you can do on a savings account, think again.  The highest yielding savings accounts pay over 4.5%.  Some of these banks allow you to open savings account with a little as a one
dollar deposit.  Most of these banks also do not require a minimum balance to avoid fees.  Where can you find that kind of deal, at an Internet bank.  Internet banks don't have a branch on every corner, which reduces their operating costs.  Since Internet banks have lower costs, they can afford to pay higher yields on their savings accounts.  If you are tired of getting less than 1% interest on your money, consider an Internet bank with a high yield savings account.
