The worst financial mistake I ever made

I had a savings account at a bank and the bank was sold. The new bank didn’t have an online platform for accounts under a certain balance, so my account was closed. I withdrew the money and put it in a credit union. The credit union didn’t have an online platform, so I kept the money in cash at home.<br><br>Then the credit union was sold. The new bank had an online platform, so the accounts at the old credit union were transferred to the new bank. I logged in to check it out and saw that they had an investment option, which allowed me to put a small portion of my money into stocks. I invested, and suddenly my money was worth much more.<br><br>I never would have done this if I still had a cash-only account at the bank.
