The dilemma

The transfer form sits on the counter, filled in and unsigned. Rosa slides the quarterly sheet across. Eighty members have pulled out since the bank's letters landed, and they are the big savers. If it keeps going, the board has to stop lending to new businesses. You have been a member here since you were 24, which buys you one vote at the annual meeting and nothing else. Rosa drops her voice so the teller cannot hear: 'Give me till the end of September, {{NAME}}. After that it will not matter either way.'

Your options

  1. Sign the transfer today. Ellis has no savings and you have nine working years left.
  2. Leave every cent at Harbor, and tell Rosa she can say so out loud.
  3. Move half now, and hold the rest until you see whether Rosa's September means anything.

Fifty Thousand, Or The Town

A big bank will pay you about $50,000 more for your retirement savings. All you have to do is take it out of the little bank that lends to every shop on your street.
