Working on my taxes, I just realized that I boosted our interest income from 2009 to 2010 from $218 to $1,238. And that while rates went down, right? And I did not really have much more in savings either.
Here is why:
- got a couple free iPods from key bank which account for $420 of the $1,238
- opened a Chase checking, they gave me $150 for that. Just had to close it though.
- The majority comes from moving our EF to a Checking account that pays 2.75% with our credit Union, up to $30K back in April.
Cool, isn't it? :-)

Very cool! Well done! You've inspired me to do something I've been thinking of doing - moving our checking account to a nearby credit union that pays 2.5% interest on checking (with a few requirements) up to $10K.

That's quite a boost, all right. Good job!
