Where the heck do you find a bank/CU that gives 2.5% on a checking account?
The most of what I've finding are .10% or less for savings accounts and zero for checking.
Not that I have anything to put in them. My saver mentality has gotten severely strained after divorce. My biggest challenge is that my FHA home loan was made based on two incomes, and I now pay it based on my one income. Since it's FHA, MIP does NOT come off the loan when I hit 20% equity, I have to refi and the rates are higher now than when we bought. Losing MIP would save me $270/mo if I could just eliminate it.
