I think you may have it backwards. CDs and money market funds are actually liabilities for the financial institution. They're ways of paying customers more in the hopes of attracting deposits. There are non-depository financial institu

There is an active market for vendor software, as indicated by the other replies. The real expense driver isn't necessarily that "you need an app" but that "you need an app that is either very hardened or safely quaranti

There is a vote every year and I looked at the candidates and thought "wait a minute! these are just normal people like me!" so the next year I ran. I highly recommend it. Most CU boards are in desperate need of younger members (y

The word on the street in the credit union industry is that you need $500 million in assets to be long term viable. It could be lower for a bank, but you'd need a laser focused niche. [edit] source: I sit on the board of a credit union

Here is a value that I have which is counter to ethical altruism: I have a small amount of cash in my pocket, which will (given enough time) purchase junk food with. However, I see a random charity donation box so I put my money in that and

My god, how do you leave over 11k crimes just sitting in a store room... in one county. I'm glad they're addressing this gross miscarriage of justice. Hope it's an isolated thing (but not actually expecting it to be so)

There is a useful distinction that I've commonly seen in writing/editing. It is that people are good at identifying what they don’t like, but are terrible at telling you why or what to do about it. I’ve used this distinction to he
