    From Utopian Galt #1@815.Wwivnet@11:1/101 to All on Sat Apr 26 01:50:27 2025

    A forgetful teller at the bank used my fathers profile and drained my fathers checking account on another customer.
    Its making me want to quit the bank and switch over to a different establishment for my own personal account.

    WTF? It sounds more deliberate than forgetful?

    Seems that way. Luckily I was off from work that day and caught the error quickly for my father to talk to one of the bank managers about it. I think that teller is likely getting a demerit for that.

    That's horrible! I'm sure someone else has asked, but were you able to get everything reversed and taken care of?

    Yes, and I am thinking not putting all my eggs in 1 basket. Going to put no more than 2.2k in my main account, and then dump the rest in my 2 savings accounts.

    For sure. Also... while unfortunately right now is the wrong time for it, see if you can find high-yield savings accounts (usually online only). They usually have much high interest than an average bank savings account. Right now, though, interest rates are only around the low 4s or high 3s (percent).
    It's nice when they are high 5s or better.

    Currently, you can make at least 7% with very minimal risk. Rules of thumb. When the market is in extreme fear, you buy that fear! That is where the highest gains come from on the rebound.

    I spent 50-60 bucks buying some stocks when stuff decreased.

    It seems like lots of retail did the same. I did some re-allocating to take advantage of the sale prices.
