Virtual Banking Although I wouldn't recommend closing your main bank account just yet, I suggest you at least entertain the option of banking on the Internet. VirtualBank offers no monthly fees or minimum balance requirement, and they have great interest rates on checking accounts.

think that it helps encourage creativity and the ability to make sound
decisions.

Many people see this as being the reason they don't like to go to work. They feel like they're too restricted in the way they conduct themselves. They wish they could be more open and truthful at work. They dream that they could feel the same way they do when they're at home with their loved ones. |
I don't recommend taking your shoes off and slipping into your pajamas at work, but I do recommend doing everything you can get away with in order to make yourself feel more comfortable. If you get caught in your office with your pants around your ankles doing the twist, don't blame me! My advice is to merely personalize your work space a little more. ![]() |
