Am I barking up the right money tree?
How should I divide my credit card and debit card spending in order to best take advantage of interest from my checking account? (Or is this even the game I should be playing?) I’m able to earn 1.58% interest from a checking account if I use my debit card for twelve transactions each calendar month. But, of course, I can keep my money in the bank for longer by using my credit card. What decisions or equations will help me best maximize the interest I earn? [more inside]

how did interest in savings accounts work before computers or calculators were commonly available? was it calculated by hand? what was the process like? did savings accounts even accrue interest historically?

Almost enough to pay for Grad School
I have saved up about $25,000 for school, which starts in September. I have it in a WaMu online savings account which had very high interest, but now the interest rates have plummeted so that I am barely making anything anymore. It went from getting $50 a month on $10,000 to making $17 this month on 25k. :(
Where should I put my money where it will be safe, easily accessible in a fairly short term, and yet with as high of an interest return as possible. I also need to be able to continue to input money into the account every month when I get my paycheck.
PS: I am planning to take loans if they are interest free and hold off paying them until I can't defer any longer. But when I quit my job, I will need to start withdrawing money for daily living expenses.

I wish that they accepted credit cards
I am going to hire a landscaper to do some major renovations to my backyard. Since I don’t have all the cash on hand right now, I was planning on paying with a 0% interest credit card (and I would easily be able to pay it off in less than a year). The problem is that the landscaper (who we like much more than the others) does not accept credit cards.
