    question is pretty much the title. I ask because of the amount of accounts available that pay interest up front now. better to take the interest now as dirt is only likely to go up again?

    If you have savings of any kind you are not poor (you probably are according to the poverty industry but that's in their interests).

    I am not advocating jacking it up either, just pointing out what being poor actually means (there are very very few genuinely poor people in Ireland in 2012)

    you don't know how much savings i am referring to, nor how long they are in the account till being used. i could be referring to saving for 2 months to pay the electricity bills, or someone trying to save a bit up for a car. either way, it is only the poor who try to save in bank accounts, while the rich 'invest'.

    so thank you for your confusing statement that those who have any kind of savings are not poor, but actually are according to the "poverty industry" who i can only assume, make poverty?

    being poor and being destitute are different, just like being middle class vs being rich ...
