If you have an account with NASA FCU, this is a great deal. However, if you need to open an account and transfer cash in and then transfer cash out - well maybe there are better alternatives.

1. Zero Coupon (3 mo) T-bills are yielding 5.2% (Cusip: 912796XY0). You can ladder these and get up to the 9 mos if you want. The extra 0.3% at NASA (assume $10k deposit) is worth $22.

2. Munis - I am seeing Munis (around 9 mos expiration) yielding 4% - these are tax exempt, so 4% / (1-your tax rate) to get after tax yield. These 4% therefore are close to 6%, but there is some risk in munis.

3. Is it worth it - so for each 0.5% increase in yield on a CD (assume you deposit $10k), you get an extra $37. If your bank has a 5% CD and you go through the hassle (I am assuming it is a hassle) to open a new account to get the 5.5%, is the extra $37 worth it to you. That is the real qs.

Just my $0.02. Peace

Credit Unions are insured by NCUA [wikipedia.org], the credit union version of the FDIC. And NASA FCU is NCUA insured: https://www.nasafcu.com/about-us

Wouldn't trust Goldman. I'll keep laddering t-bills and maybe throw some money in a long term CD at some point. But stay away from GS.
They have half a trillion in managed assets. Why the trust issues?

Goldman has a long history of trust issues.

1 month T-Bills are going for 5.4% if you don't want to lock up your money for 9 months. Just saying.
Which Tbill? Can you let me know? The ones I see as new from treasury in fidelity are just over 5% slightly

New issues are a bit lower now. You can still buy on the secondary market for ~5.3% yield

Okay. How does someone do tBills every 4 weeks? The website is not noob friendly.
Go on Youtube and lookup "Diamond Nest Egg". Go into Jennifer's channel and look up T-Bills. She has several extremely informative videos on purchasing t-bills step-by-step through Fidelity and also explains how to set up a t-bill ladder. You can learn a ton from watching her videos. I think they're the best on YouTube. Good luck.

Iam thinking about this. Was it easy to transfer money from bank to bank? I am thinking of converting my Money market to CD.

Very easy

if everything turns digital, you run the banks and do all your shopping/trading locally. yes, I've lived in China. You don't want that.
