You mean their checking accounts, or physically in the checkbook, as cash, like it was a billfold?
I used to keep a couple thousand in there in lieu of balancing my checkbook, but it's swelled as my money-market turned into an amazing waste of time and non-interest, and I've been using up the utterly useless cheques the goddamn bank made me pay for when I opened the money-market last year. Fuckers.
I'd put the excess into a Roth IRA, but I figure I should have it liquid in case my employer suddenly vaporizes, which is always possible with small tech companies.
Why, are there decent CDs out there these days? I had been thinking of paying down the principal on my mortgage when my monstrous and mostly-unearned tax refund shows up, but I'm persuadable.
