Quote from TurtlePerson2 :
Not a deal! Treasuries are paying more than this for any duration between 1 month and 1 year. Treasuries also aren't subject to state and local tax. Treasuries also can be traded on the secondary market.

Answering three inevitable questions:
Buy treasuries at any brokerage (e.g. Fidelity, Schwab, etc.).
Don't use TreasuryDirect. It's a clumsy platform and offers no advantages over a broker like Fidelity that charges nothing for buying/selling treasuries.

What do you think about Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund (VMFXX)?

You're getting less yield than directly purchasing treasuries and paying a management fee.

That's the "default" investment at Vanguard if you don't put your money anywhere else (their "cash sweep"), and for that purpose, it's actually pretty good compared to other brokers, especially Schwab. Still, you'd be better off putting the money in T-bills.

Checkout Tfdxx fund. Much better than lock period of 10 months

Treasury yields are certainly going higher from here. With the 3 month paying approx 5.5% it's insane to lock in a 10 month CD, Yields are shooting up weekly and you get a tax benefit.

6.25% at Trulient for an 11 month CD

FYI: For local residents only, and not FDIC insured. Any legal workaround way to join?

What Is the Member Qualification Criteria?
There are four ways you can be eligible to become a member at Truliant:
Live, work, worship or attend school in a county near one of our branches
Work for one of our business partners
Have an immediate family or household member who is currently a member of Truliant
Join through the American Consumer Council if you live in GA, NC, SC, TN or VA

While credit unions aren't insured by the FDIC like big banks are, all credit unions are part of the National Credit Union Administration. The NCUA provides the same amount of coverage and insurance for money deposited into credit unions that the FDIC provides for larger banks.

But isn't there a 10k limit on T-Bills? Means in one year I cannot invest more than 10k.

UFB Direct money market savings account is at 5.25%, no cap. I'll sacrifice 0.05% to also have zero risk and still completely liquid.
