    If you haven’t touched it, it was probably sent to your states unclaimed funds department.

    Let’s see- at say 4% (I’ll be generous) Interest, Compounded over that time period… -I’d say you have about $6 in that account -MINUS the $35. Inactive Account fees you will have incurred SINCE you forgot that checkbook… If I were YOU- I’d return that Checkbook to where you misplaced it- & forget about it for GOOD! :)

    if you have any money left in it at all (banks routinely confiscate money from non-active bank accounts) it wouldn’t be worth more than10bucks

    If you are an adult then the bank has certainly taken it all in activity fees. The can’t do that to a minor.

  • Thinking of investing your savings?


    While increasing your savings is good, multiplying your money through smart investments feels great - there are lots of opportunities out there and you can be successful if you're arming yourself with the right information.

    Where to start?

    If you're going to try your luck on the stock market or trading options, first start by learning the basics and delay as much as possible buying real positions. One way of getting hands-on experience with the markets is through online trading - either forex or binary options are good learning grounds and most online brokers offer trial accounts free of charge (if you're wondering what are binary options, 24option.com has very good resources on it, besides offering a free practice account and a wealth of information about binary trading in general). Final warning for the very eager: binary options are exotic financial instruments; real trading involves substantial risk of monetary loss.
