Because so many of you bank with Washington Mutual, I wanted to give you a heads up about its most recent promotion. Today the bank raised its online savings rate to four percent, which is higher than most interest rates I've seen lately.

This credit crisis we're in must have been on the minds of neuroscientists who recently completed a study on why it's so tough to not be lured by the spell of instant gratification.
