The point is we don't need banks to keep our money safe. We have other options that many aren't aware of (i.e. credit unions).

I know the majority of Americans probably don't care whether other Americans are "too stupid to read the fine print" but a lot of people apparently think that even the stupid and the stoned don't deserve to be robbed by bankers.
Yes, I was a bit quick on the 'submit reply' button. Of course, any kind of investment can give you interest (if that's what you call it when it's not coming from the bank).

The point I should've made is that you should still do something with your money. The more you have, the more important it is.
