Gee, I'm currently making the princely sum of one fourth of one percent interest on my savings.

I sure would miss that.

My dad's changing his fund allocation, as these low rates are actually behind inflation, therefore losing money.

All of my savings is tied up in 401ks and a Roth to the tune of well over $300k. My savings account has about $5.12 in it. I do all of my other banking; checking account, auto loan, credit card, etc., through the Navy Federal Credit Union.
