So I got this thing in the mail the other day from a local bank to entice me to open a checking account with them where I can earn up to 2% interest as long as I have a minimum balance. Sounds like an okay deal, perhaps? Take a closer look…

Okay, right, let me run out and grab my $100,000 right now and open an account. Or better yet, let me grab my $100,000 and put it in a checking account, interest or no.
