yeah, no shit...it's like you get penalized for saving up. Banks charge you if you use your savings too much (more than the allowed withdrawals in a given time period) and the gov't charges you taxes on the interest you make in it...everybody gets a cut of your money. That's when tax shelter's, organizations, and donations come in handy...

But on the other hand, if it's in a bank it is in a safe place (up to $100,000 each account anyways) and by the end of the year you'll still always have more than you started with. It's still usually alot better than a jar buried in the back yard
