It’s that time of year again, when we all make resolutions to change something that we do for the betterment of ourselves.  Here’s a resolution everyone should adopt: Move Your Money to a local bank and/or credit union.

It’s our money and we can choose to move it where we wish.  Remember in It’s a Wonderful Life, how George Bailey stands up to Mr. Potter?  We don’t have to deal with these big banks, let’s put our money in the Bailey Building and Loan.

The idea is simple: If enough people who have money in one of the big four banks move it into smaller, more local, more traditional community banks, then collectively we, the people, will have taken a big step toward re-rigging the financial system so it becomes again the productive, stable engine for growth it’s meant to be.
