He’s Just Not That Into You


wealthymattersLadies,listen to Greg Behrendt.It may not be what you want to hear or would like to hear but it will keep you from making big mistakes and persisting with them.

 

“Here’s something else to think about: calling when you say you’re going to is the very first brick in the house you are building of love and trust. If he can’t lay this one stupid brick down, you ain’t never gonna have a house baby, and it’s cold outside.”

 

“Don’t spend your time on and give your heart to any guy who makes you wonder about anything related to his feelings for you”

Risks Of Dealing With Co-operative Banks


wealthymattersCo-operative banks sometimes offer higher interests on FDs than PSU banks.This makes their deposits interesting when inflation remains high and investors are trying to grab the last paisa in returns.Moreover,when these banks are scheduled(Link),they offer the comfort of RBI supervision and deposit insurance.

However,parking your money in these banks,still carries a measure of risk,as can be seen in the Kapol bank case.Link.The money in your FDs might not be available as and when you need it.

Often the RBI merges weak cooperative banks with stronger ones.In such cases restrictions are imposed on transactions by the customers of the weak bank,to ensure that this weak bank doesn’t collapse.This can be a source of hardship,if you need to access your money urgently.

So always park only a part pf your corpus in any one co-operative bank.Also remember that the RBI makes allowances in case of real distress,but you will have to make your case before top management and wait for them to exercise their discretion.
