Doug, you are in good company:
“Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
Matthew 25:24-25
Just got my 1099 from HSBC…and pretty much the only reason NOT to withdraw all my money and bury it in the yard is the fact that the yard is frozen solid and not conducive to digging.
I would take them up on the offer, except that addtional fee would probably be more than what is in my account. I would be living comfortably if it were not for my bank charging me to be a customer. Not enough that they pay lousy dividends on my savings account, but losing my wing and drumstick for a loan that was the straw that broke this chicken’s back.
Why is it monthly? It’s your backpack in your backyard. So, now the bank charges you to keep your money your property. The banks just keep getting smarter!
this *is* actually how it is… leaving out of course no guarantee that in the middle of the night the bankers’ pets won’t dig up the backyard
That might be an excellent idea at the moment! 🙂

But what is the interest rate like? As in how many people are interested in knowing where I keep the shovels to get access to my investment?
Speaking of investment, I’m going to pre-order the Savage Chickens book later today. Can’t wait for March 1st! 🙂

But of course only they know where in your backyard.
lol
Oooh! How much do they charge to stick it inside my mattress?

@Matt: The backyard is probably the bank’s property anyway.
@Sam Juan: You’re late. I pre-ordered weeks ago!
This is my favorite one. It always makes me laugh 🙂
