Vacation!

Out and about for a week and a bit,
A little bit of London, in Stockholm for a bit,
Paris, je t'aime,
And on Chamonix I make my final claim,
Up a hill, down a valley,
And don't worry if the index is going to rally.

The High Price of Free Accounts

I knew I was getting ripped off.

In summary:

You earn like 0.5% on your balance in your current account. The bank cooly lends out that money at 3.0% (more when interest rates are higher), and pockets the difference. Makes you want to start your own bank.

Don't you think..

..summer is fun? So stop reading this blog, go out there and do something. Unless, of course you are in the office, in which case you should continue to read this blog and procrastinate on work. Or you are at home, late at night, which means you should go to sleep, get up nice and early, go for a jog in the early morning sun, shower and read the newspaper to piping hot coffee. Or, you might be in the Southern Hemisphere, in which case it really doesn't matter because you have nothing else to do. Actually, you could go skiing.
