Savings Account Cheat Code

I found a way to make 60% return on investment Just here to brag I found a cheat code in savings accounts. I put 0.2 USD in a 5% savings account. That’s 1 cent a year, just a fraction of a cent each month. But the system has to pay every month, and it can’t handle fractions, so it gifts you a whole cent. Every month. I put in 20 cents and I make 12 cents a year. That’s 60% annually. While other investors struggle with a 4% savings rate or a 10% return from an index fund, I get 60%. So I don’t save. I multiply. One account, 0.2 USD. Then another. Then another. A hundred tiny accounts, each drip-feeding me a cent a month. Thanks to the banks’ broken math, they are a tool for me to get to the tippity top. I probably made 20 USD over the last 3 years in passive income.

A text screenshot describes someone exploiting a savings account’s rounding error by depositing 20 cents into many tiny accounts. Each account rounds fractional monthly interest up to a full cent, supposedly producing a 60% annual return. The joke is the absurdly elaborate attempt to get rich from a tiny banking loophole, ending with only 20 USD earned over three years.
