Leave Me Alone

Posted by Gaylord Campbell

I am an easygoing person, and my father is always trying to get me to do what he wants. Most of the time I give in and just do things to shut him up, but I am starting to get sick of him butting in my life. Some days he calls me and just goes on and on about how I should be living my life. Today his rant was about going to www.shopelectricityratestexas.com/ and making sure I am getting the best rate for my home electricity. Yesterday it was about cutting down on how much I eat out because I’m spending all of my money on stupid things. I was kicking myself for telling him that I went out for dinner for one of my friend’s birthdays. I wish he would just accept that I am an adult and let me make my own decision. I have never asked him for any money since I graduated from college, so I don’t get why he doesn’t trust me to be responsible. Hopefully if I talk to him about it he will learn to leave me alone.

CD Rates

Many people are smart in putting their hard earned money in savings accounts or CD accounts in different banks to earn interest and build up a little nest egg for retirement but most people probably don't know that they could find better CD rates that can earn them a higher interest rate by simply visiting emoneycentral.com Its a personal finance website that tracks the best rates on checking, savings and CD accounts across the united states and puts them all on a list for users to compare the different rates and features each account has and it also has reviews of current and former customers. All these current financial institutions are federally insured and many have some of the highest (apy) annual percentage yield rates of savings and money market accounts. currently emoneycentral is listing a checking account on one bank earning 6.26% (apy) with a $100.00 minimum opening balance which is really good. so if you would like a higher return on your checking, savings, or CD account check out emoneycentral.com for a comparison list to your current bank.
