Hey, ya lazy ass piker.....take your money out of the 'big banks' and put

[Mind_your_head]

it into a CREDIT UNION - NOW!

Don't support the BIG BANKS with what little money you've got remaining. Don't support your 'abuser'.....it's such a 'loser' 4U.

3. Good advice

Small depositors, take notice. If you don't need all those financial management services offered by a bank, you should consider joining a credit union.

4. My money has been in a credit union since I was 19

and figured out the difference in bank fees and such. They lend at reasonable terms, and they don't abuse their members.

5. There were 14 credit unions closed in 2008.

Not sure how many in 2009. They don't seem immune to the current problems. They may not be as guilty as the big banks in irresponsible loans but they are having some problems too.
