I completely agree with that.
My concern is with those that experience monetary difficulties due to poor money management skills. To deposit your money in a non-interest bearing, Federally uninsured account, with your vet...is an example of poor money management and IMO, if you choose that method of managing your finances, you're likely to continue to have money problems.
