When i sell this house, I will probably have about $400,000 in the bank. I have decided to put some into the on line banks that pay over 5%. I will still keep quite a bit here locally, but this time I won'd put $200,000 all in one account.
I will have one joint account with $100,000 and one in just my name for $100,000. You can do that and still have fdic insurance on both accounts.

Wow, all I have to say is, I wish I had your problems

You just went against everything everyone were saying in this post which is funny. But Keeping over 100k in the bank would get me a little nervous even if the chances of losing your money if anything happens are very slim.
