[QUOTE="black4vcobra, post: 15292701, member: 82394"] Hi all, in the near future I will receive "payment" from my future father-in-law for assuming responsibility for his daughter for the rest of my life. The wedding will not be for 13 months yet so I just wanted to check in to see if anyone had any tips on making a few percent on the money in the next year as there is no sense in leaving it in a checking account earning .05% interest until then. I know that there are expenses that will come up before that but I can cover the smaller stuff with my own savings and utilize the payment for the bill that comes due for food, venue and booze. I know CD's used to be a good idea but my credit union only offers a miserable .4% APR on 12 month CD's. Are government backed bond ETF's a good strategy to try to make a few % with minimal risk of loss? I already have a Roth IRA setup with Vanguard so that would be real easy for me to buy some funds from there. Otherwise, is anyone aware of any high interest checking accounts that are easy to setup? I know there used to be checking accounts that offered a few % but I doubt there are many around yet. Of course I know that any investments are subject to risk but ideally it wouldn't lose any money and if it did, 5% loss in a year would be the most I could stomach. Thanks :beer: [/QUOTE]
