I just stick to CD ladders at these rates so I can take advantage of new rates if available every 3 months.

You'd be better off with T bill ladder. Why lock away cash for 10 months for 5.3% when T bills make that or more for shorter term PLUS you pay no state taxes!

Rate are not guaranteed to go up. Let's not pretend it's a sure thing. Also, we talking about .2 .3 percent difference here.

It's not guaranteed but it's exactly what they've been suggesting. Only 0.2 or 0.3%? That PLUS being exempt from state taxes makes T bills a better option. Plus that little bit extra % makes a difference if you have a large sum to invest.

Convenience. I can build my own ladder, or I can pay a very small premium to SGOV to do it for me. With the amount of money I've got in it ($XX,000), the amount I lose to fees is less than my time is worth.

We're talking $12/year for each $10,000 invested.

I'm using SGOV as well.

I am a multi-millionaire myself, so are most of my friends. Of course, age plays a role here, most of us are in early/mid-forties. I started to work in 2006, my wife 2007. According to Mint, our net asset exceeded $1M at the beginning of 2016.

The first million is always the hardest, it took us almost 10 years. The next million only took us three years. No, we didn't do cryptocurrency or win a lottery. In terms of investment, we mainly invest on index funds.

Chase gives you how much in savings interest? 0%? Capital One gives 4.3%! Look for the $350 Capital One bonus offer. I just did it. I like the interface so far. No issues. Forget Chase, they take your money and make a crap load on it and give you nothing!

What is the bonus offer?

Question for experts, t-bill is around 5% every 3/months so if I buy 100k, I would receive 5k every 3 months if I kept it & I don't have to pay tax?
NVM, that's not how it works. You buy it at the discount rate & sale it at maturity date. My question is why the longer t-bill have lower rate.

if banks are offering this much for a CD, they must know stocks ae going thru the roof.

When interest rate increases, the stock normally goes down...
