We're not uncouth barbarians, we don't want all of it. Just enough for some dinner. Pocket change, as it were. We have a right to eat.
Because they wouldn't let you put more of your money in the private banks. I mean, requiring an account at your place of work, which is authoritative and not economically practical in the first place is kind of uncool. They could secretly siphon money out at any time to cover their own losses, and you wouldn't be able to do much about it. Sorry, man, they crapped out.
Seriously, .05% interest? That's like, nothing. You would get more interest just by putting 10 Gil into the Wutai Stock Exchange and leave it there for 30 years. Leave it there, and despite economic fluctuations, you're set to get at least 12% total interest, and the Wutai Stock Exchange compounds funds quarterly, not annually, like Shinra. Yeah, it's that bad.
This is one of the things we wish to change.
