Open a savings account

I think we've all seen the stories on the news about how we Americans are terrible about saving money.

Well, here's your chance to turn those statistics around.

First National Bank of Omaha (yes, as in Nebraska) is offering SIX-PERCENT (6%!!) savings accounts online.

That's way more than a traditional bricks-and-mortar bank. Probably because FNBODirect is a "bricks-and-clicks" bank . . . meaning they don't have the overhead costs of maintaining traditional banking facilities, because they do the vast majority of their business online.

Anyway, if you're like me and want to earn a better rate of return on your savings, you really should check out their web site and consider filling out an online application:
