Financial Help
1. Does anyone have a favorite Credit Union they use here in Sacramento?
2. Is there any reason to keep open an account that I held in good standing since 1999? Is there any benefit for my credit?
Thank you!

The other Aaron has had problems, yes, but a lot of us are really happy. I've had an account for over 10 years now with absolutely no issues.

Though if you're going to just hoard money, you should check out www.ingdirect.com (if you sign up with them tell me first so I can refer you ). The interest rate on their normal savings account is 3.15% right now. I put $6k in that account and made almost $13 in one month in interest alone

Can you set up direct deposite at ing? I don't have a large stash of cash yet. Trying to take care of some mini goals first, then i'll start major saving. It's all about the baby steps.

The cool thing about them is that they are a CO-OP.
Oh and there is a branch in Folsom.
You get a lot of perks with that credit union though. All you need is 25 bucks to open an account.
Free atm card
Free checking account. No monthly fee's No min balance, Free financal advice..
ect..
