| Topic | What's the point of a savings account in a bank? |
| Balrog0 02/16/21 10:57:35 AM #37 | Coloradough posted... Well the typical answer I see from googling this question is "the savings acct makes you money!" Yeah, but you're talking about more than one comparison and conflating them. A savings account is better than some kind of investment for emergency needs because it's more readily available. A savings account is also better than a checking account for emergency needs because it's generally more secure. It's about managing risk in both cases, but they're different trade-offs. I recently had to cancel my debit card because I saw an unrecognized transaction in my checking account. It's not a big deal... Except when it is. Like giant aspirins example. I mean it's not a big probability event but what's the downside of the savings account? It's not the rate of return if you compare it to a checking account --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Balrog0 02/16/21 10:24:40 AM #15 | Whether or not you should buy stock with the money is irrelevant to the checking account vs savings account question isn't it? If you have enough money quickly accessible in either kind of account you should invest the excess. --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

| Balrog0 02/15/21 2:05:52 PM #110 | At the very least, housing vouchers should be an entitlement like SNAP. It wouldn't address the core issue and would have it's own problems, but it would at least mitigate the harmful outcomes for the majority of the housing insecure/overburdened by rent. --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 |

He must have meant 'There goes the neighborhood's equity due to systemically racist realestste appraisal tools and professionals' Lol yikes g980 posted... Do you think this is malicious or the result of unconscious bias + subjective appraisal process? There are systemic reasons that neighborhoods with the same kind of housing stock but different racial composition are valued differently, but this is a pretty straightforward example of individual bias.
