    I remember opening my first savings account when I was like 16 or whatever, being so excited to know I would earn interest, only to find out interest was a whopping 1% or so a year. I couldn't figure out what the purpose of a savings account was at that point. The grand or so I had was every bit as safe balled up and hidden deep under my bed, and I would have access to it if I needed to spend it.
