I have a 30 day interest rate lock with my lender on a home in which I’m in escrow. What happens if rates drop 1/8 of a pt or more? Do I have any option to get the better rate besides switching lenders? Thx

What the ??? Why do you waste everybody’s time with such a lame, irrelevant response. If you don’t have anything constructive to say, then bug off!

What is the difference between a savings account and a money market account?

earn  high interest
Yeah asked:


I want to open a savings account separate from my checking account to earn a higher interest rate. I keep reading about “money market accounts.” What is the different between a savings account and a money market account? What are the advantages/disadvantages to having either one? Thank you!
By the way, I do plan on meeting with a banker as soon as the holidays slow down to better discuss my options.
I just wanted to see if anyone could offer any quick info or help on here in the meantime! :)

Which banks have the highest interest rates for savings accounts?

earn  high interest
>>>=<<< asked:


In the USA. NY, NJ area. Anyway, I am 16 and will be getting a job soon and will be working everyday. I plan to save up primarily for a house. Don’t laugh, I am not even joking. I plan to go to Columbia University and have a part time job when I go there, I plan to do 2 years at a community college to get my basics out of the way, and also plan to work then too. My question is, when I become of agein a year and a half, I can basically do everything my parents do at the bank, correct? e.g: having a checking account, be able to use a credit card, etc… If yes, then which bank around NY, NJ would have the best rates for a long term savings account? (I’m sure theres another banking name for “long term”), because basically I want to put 75% of the money I earn into that one high interest savings.
