Stat of the Day $281: The difference in interest you’d earn by putting $10,000 in savings into an average U.S. savings account (0.19% APY; $19) for the next year vs. one of the best online savings accounts (3.0% APY; $300). It’s a much better time to shop for a high-yield savings account than it was last year.
Team Clark Survey Results The holiday season is in full swing. This week, we asked you to share the best present you have ever received. Here's what some of you told us:
Christy in Washington: "My daughter Jinx. She was born on Dec. 21, 1987."
Richard in Illinois: "I was 6 years old. We had no food in the house. Six in the family. Christmas morning. Salvation Army dropped off a food basket. My mother cried with happiness."
Michelle in Missouri: "Paid time off work!"
Sarah in Georgia: "When I was 11, I wished on a star every night in December for a bicycle. My wish came true."
Matthew in Virginia: "I moved to a new city and was living on rice and beans for months. My best friend secretly ordered a pizza to be delivered to my apartment after I got off work. I nearly cried from appreciation."
William in Arkansas: "With very limited resources, my parents came through at Christmas when I was 12 with a black belt, a white dress shirt and a gold 20-inch Huffy bike with high-rise handlebars and a banana seat. Best Christmas ever!"
