A similar trend was observed in Japan, where the gap between savings and borrowing is at an all-time high.
Japanese banks use the money to purchase bonds to help keep yields the lowest in the world even if Tokyo has more outstanding debts than the U.S. and a lower credit rating.

Throughout my career, I have spent a great deal of time in Tallahassee, working on a broad range of insurance issues. Even with that experience, Tallahassee is a strange place to me. It is also a distant place to most Floridians – both in location and in familiarity. Some of us know the legislators in our own districts sent to represent home interests, but few know anything about the other 158 members who together create the laws which govern us. For most of us, Tallahassee is something we like to passively complain about – the punch line in an all-to-familiar joke.

Savings Accounts and Money Market Rates provided by 15 June 2011 For many younger Americans, the choice of banks is often a matter of convenience. A college campus might be flooded with ATMs from Bank of America, so the choice is relatively simple. As people start to look at their banking options, The Wall Street Journal points out that smaller credit unions actually offer benefits above and beyond many of the largest national banks.
Credit unions are essentially non-profit banks comprised of its own customers. Many are restricted to certain groups, such as the United Nations Federal Credit Union, which is limited primarily to U.N. employees. Read full post…
Texas courts have ruled that insurance policies which provide coverage for vandalism, but exclude coverage for theft, also exclude any damage that is “in furtherance of theft.” Practically speaking, if a thief breaks through your interior sheetrock walls to steal the copper wires behind them, a typical insurance policy will exclude coverage completely, even for the damage to your sheetrock walls. Now, if they had been vandals instead, and had just smashed holes in your walls without stealing copper wire, your policy would likely provide coverage. As you can see, the difference is subtle, but very important.
