I Earned a Penny!
My $50 in savings earned a penny! Wow, this is exciting! No, seriously, do you have any idea how long it’s been since I had a savings account (that wasn’t a 401(k) subject to market madness)? Ten years at least. A whole penny! I just put another $50 in there. As life starts to move
