Greg's post reminded me to look at my account today and I started cracking up...

Here's interest from the cash sitting in one of my accounts (lazy workers)...

04/27/2012
SCHWAB1 INT 03/29-04/26
type: INTEREST
$6.52

Here's the dividend from about the same amount of money parked in a fairly conservative investment (more productive workers)...
05/07/2012
LQD ISHARES IBOXX INVESTOP IBOXX $ INVESTOP CORP
type: ORD INC DIV REINV.
$1,014.80

The point is, it is better to have your money working (even in something boring like LQD), versus lazing under a shade tree collecting dust. After puking in my mouth a little, I put some of those lazy dogs back to work today.
