That is money I'm putting into savings, though. Going to train with Lance Storm and what not, as soon as I can.

For def. I should start a savings account, but I've been having varying amounts of money in a checking account for years and years, but for some weird reason, I don't want to make a savings account because I'm afraid I won't have enough in my checking, which is what I use to pay bills. I know common arithmetic can solve this problem, but I dunno. There's just something about checking your account balance and seeing a comforting number.
As far as regular expenditures, I ain't scared to say that my roommate is my own sister. (best kind of roommate is the one you're related to), so I only pay half the bills at this point. Well, since I got my job, I gave my sis a discount. Anyway, my total consistent bills only come out to like 450 a month not including food and gas, and I'm pulling in close to 4 grand a month, and the most ridiculous part of it is I long ago bought all the **** I ever wanted to buy, so I simply browse Newegg and Amazon with a sadface, sorta pissed that now that I have the money to buy ****, there isn't anything I actually need. (want)
It's like, dude, I spent all this time and effort getting to the point where I could afford anything I may need, and by the time I can, I don't need ****. Funny game. Good thing, though, as it will help save money for my house!
Do you have a regular bank savings account with interest, or do you have any suggestions for something else with good interest accrual?
