I'm using SGOV as well.
That looks interesting. Are T rates a little lower than doing it yourself? And is this exempt from State/Local taxes?

Quote from TurtlePerson2 :
Treasury bills are a better investment than this. T-bills are paying a higher interest rate than this, so it's an easy decision. If you live in a state or city with income tax, then T-bills are a much better deal. There's lots of resources online about this and I would encourage you to do some research on your own rather than using this forum to make investment decisions. The fact that these not-good CD deals keep hitting the frontpage tells me that SD users don't understand investing.
Could you recommend me one, im in Florida and in process of selling a house. Im going to need somewhere to put over 200k pretty soon.

These "you can get 0.5% more if you make a new account to keep track of in this no-name bank!" or "open a Fidelity account for T-Bills" are appreciated, but kind of annoying in excess. I don't think theres anything wrong with parking cash in OP's CDs

Quote from spooky187 :
I think you are missing the part about rates are changing fast now. So, locking in that long you can lose out on an increase with a long lock in rate. Plus the tax benefits.
I'm not missing that part at all. As a retiree, I'm not necessarily chasing the highest rates, month to month. If I can lock in a guaranteed 5% for five years (or whatever term), I'll gladly forgo some 6% rates at the risk of the rates changing to 2% in two years.

Some people, at certain ages, are looking at guaranteed income generating investments. For most, who are 10+ years away from retiring, I agree with your assessment.

The tax benefit may or may not apply to people.

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.

obviously include more savings and compounding effects. still 3 is v fast, it was 5 for me due to covid bump
But what about the 2022 Dip? Turning $1mm into $2mm in 3 years feels like what a hedge fund manager strives to do, not your average Joe investing in the S&P 500 Index Fund.

5.5 is available through the Schwab CD finder, or even better yet a 5.7 but it's callable half way through the 1 year term

Much actually came from income. The first million includes housing, which doesn't appreciate on average as quickly as the stock market, so you can imagine our income played a very important role. We hit $3M in June 2021, and a year later, it went back to $2.9M which was the lowest point after we hit $3M for the first time. Through income and stock performance, we are close to $4M in net asset now.

No credit Unions are FDIC insured. They still have the same protection.

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.

How does one get started with buying treasuries outside Treasury Direct without a fee? New to this and would like to get set up. Thank you.

Quote from catman17 :
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!
No one's dumb enough to sit their money in Chase. You use their checking acct for easily accessible ATM's and brick n mortars and transfer any extra money to a HYSA. All it takes is a click of a button.

Capital one has good CD rates for a larger bank, of course there others with better rates with smaller banks.
