I know this question has been asked over & over again Smilie but I am in a bit of dilemma now. Just received a rate match approved from a local credit union on a 6 month CD at 5.5% and looking at a 26 week T-Bill looks like the rate is hovering at about 5.1% (high rate column, assuming that's what they will pay me at), which brings a difference of about 0.4%

I also live in a state that charges 4.05% on state income tax. Wondering if I should go with CD over T-Bills in this case?

I should also add that the local credit union actually deposits the interest earned every month into my checking account, which I guess I can reinvest.
Good Deal?
