Due to tax laws and such, they can consistently get better rates. I’ve found that a local credit union is nearly always the best bet for savings accounts and loans.

Alot of students are still fearful of buying their textbooks online because they may have a different ISBN, be lacking a study guide, or some other inconsequential reason. But the fact is, you can save hundreds of dollars each semester buying your textbooks online.

I think it is all a blog should be: casually written, humorous, and chock full of valuable information. I like your blog so much, in fact, that it is first on my list of Blogs To Read on MY own blog. I am also pleased to announce that I have been pre-emtively following your advice (i.e. already doing a lot of the things you've been blogging about) and it pleases me to have my financial choices affirmed by someone with an expertise. Keep up the good work! Lidiya Dear Stephanie,

One at a local Toronto Dominion Bank and another with an online bank. The local bank is convenient for obvious reasons. However, the best part about the other bank account is that it's a bit of a process to take out money at times, so that's a roadblock for those that need one. The thing I love about online banking is that it allows to me monitor my spending and keep track of my money. I actually have two bank accounts.

The online banks seem to be both better for your wallet and better for your sanity too since I have found them to be very responsive to my needs, unlike the old banks.
