    High interest online savings account recommendations

    As I read the law correctly under the FDIC regulations if your wife is a beneficiary that also raises your coverage to 500 K. I have dealt with the none of these d*** banks to realize that each have their own particular rules in adding to or. Removing money the sole exception that I have found...

    High interest online savings account recommendations

    CFG and VIO (midwestern bank) 4.8% and 4.5% but each has their quirks...I am still waiting on CD to be approved at 5+% and I am hacked. VIO has good rates but you can only transfer out a certain amount per day/month. I still use Vio but I do all my transfers through ALLY--I'll just go on...

    High interest online savings account recommendations

    I purposely have cash at a brick and mortar local bank in case I need quick cash....Of all the banks I've dealt with Ally has had the best customer service. I get the feeling CFG is going to be a pain in the butt.

    I just ordered a 2023 Genesis G70 3.3T. I'm psyched!

    I just loved my G70 3.3 but had to get a GV70 due to injuries. But I just got my GV70 serviced yesterday only to find the damn dealership MOVED to South Carolina....I am told as of Jan 1, Hyundai cannot service a Genesis as it must be done a Genesis dealer. To all those who have a good...

    I just ordered a 2023 Genesis G70 3.3T. I'm psyched!

    Funny you should mention the loose shifting!!! My GV70 has that issue but I have only 2000 miles, city driving. I did notice hi-octane gas gave me better miles per gallon...Car goes in for oil change and maintenance, and I will bring that up.

    I just ordered a 2023 Genesis G70 3.3T. I'm psyched!

    I had a G70 and loved it but due to a fall off my roof, I could no longer get in/out of the car. The lack of trunk space was an issue so I traded it in on a GV70. Metallic Black.... I love the quality but my dealership- not so much. Genesis of America told me they are headed for separate...

    Thinking about self-contracting our new home build

    Put subs under a time and quality contract AND make them post a bond. Subs won't have crap to sue...just go to your county courthouse and see how many liens are filed against the subs- that will tell you something about them

    High interest online savings account recommendations

    I like the 4.5% CDs but the penalty for early withdrawal is very high. Are not CD's insured for a max of 250k? Since a savings account is only insured for 250k, Some have to have multiple banks. So far I have several accounts but I don't know any way around it. Any ideas? BTW, interest...

    Anybody ever have a Capital One CD? They're offering a 1-year 4% CD that I'm thinking about going for. Possibly the 2-year.

    I don't think I'll move to CDs-yet- as when mine came due from Ally, I moved to Vio. Bank and they pay 3.58%. Liquidity in this market is safer for me. I would not go for anything longer than 12 month CD

    Mattress time!

    I sleep on a Boyd soft side semi waveless waterbed....I used a waterbed of types since 1982. filling and unfilling is a pain in the butt but nothing is more comfortable for me.
