Today I closed my account at a bank. I made a point to say that they had done nothing wrong; I simply found a better alternative. Made me feel kinda bad, after nearly eight years with them.

I imagine that it feels something like breaking up gently with a decent person who wasn't ready to call it off. In a way, it's worse: You might convince your date/SO that both of you are better off separate, but banks never see an upside to losing customers. Of course, one ordinary customer doesn't mean as much as a potential life mate, so I must be blowing this out of proportion.

I've been thinking of changing banks too. Mine's dishing out $100 each to new customers but paying the old-timers about 0.1% on savings and 0.25% on CDs. I've been with them since I was 16, that's 26 years.
