I've bounced around between a few different places.

They all seem to pull this bait n' switch.

ING did it, started off with a 4.5% rate, then it dropped down to 2%.

So then I found dollarsavingsdirect, 4% rate. Now it's dropping, down to 3.2% already in less than 6 months since they started.

Maybe I should switch to the bed matress savings plan.

Plus that shit is taxed, so if you're in a 30% tax bracket, it's more like a 2% return.

I've had an ING account for quite a while now. Rates go up, rates go down.

Hell, you don't need a mattress. A really small throw pillow will do.

If you have any disposable cash right now, best 'returns' are had by paying off debts in entirety.

If you have no debts, buy property. It can lose no more value, unless VERY VERY BAD things happen...

My only debt above 2% is my mortgage.

I don't want to put it in that because I need some liquid money. Any money I put in the mortgage goes into the toilet never to be seen again, no equity line, nothing.

But you pay it off sooner

So that balloon payment down the road won't be so bad.
