More like 40. I had a checking/savings account that my grandmother set up for me when I was born. It paid .5% interest on a checking account, and the savings acciunt paid 2.5%. They stopped giving those rates sometime in the 90s. Same bank charged me an "inactivity fee" in the mid 00s to 0 out the accounts and closed them.

Those accounts had disappeared by 93. I was 13 then, and didn't know about my other checking account, cause my grandma didn't think I needed any money till I left for college. I went around to every bank and ended up setting up my "first" checking account in 93, cause I started working on a tobacco farm for video game money, and needed a way to cash my check without fees. None of the banks were offering interest on checking accounts, and the best interest rate I could find at the time on savings was 1.75%

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…
