I didn't buy anything, I just put the money in a savings account so I can retire and live off the interest
Just watch how much you put in.
I put in $6 million, the minimum you can retire on these days
Make sure to divide the money into 60 different banks!
That sounds like a lot of work, I just put it all in my WAMU account. It's a bank so I know the full $6 million is safe.
Washington Mutual is in BIG trouble, though...
From about 40 bucks per share down to 4 in the space of a year
I've been considering moving to the First Tech Credit Union but I have to check and see if they are actually in better shape.
I used to bank with BECU when I was single, but my wife and I have a platinum account with Wells Fargo and make insane interest each month. Granted, we have to keep at least $40,000 in our savings to get the high interest rate, but it's worth it.
