That's just a money grab imo...

that is the kind of idea that ends up on shark tank and the sharks just rip the presenter to shreds

That's what I thought. It sounded like TIAA taking the skim off of my retirement account.

The other "new" part of our plan is offering loans from your retirement accounts. I won't post the details, but yikes. That sounds like a terrible idea, but maybe not if you are desperate.

Man, that's like giving money away. I hadn't seen that one, no.

Just did it too. I'm up to aboit $1350 now this year.

I'm still waiting for my Citizens checking bonus to post.

Postby **mac5155** » Thu Jun 25, 2020 12:26 pm

Mine never did either. I did an ACH deposit from pnc and figured it didn't work.

Postby **NTP66** » Thu Jun 25, 2020 1:22 pm

They have until June 30 to post for me, so I've still got some time before I have to call them.

NTPs little scam here is probably favorite ongoing scam on this board...

Postby **NTP66** » Thu Jun 25, 2020 2:23 pm

It's not a scam when you're playing by their own rules.

Totally agree, I meant "scam" in the most positive way possible...get that bread, son...

With interest rates being absolute trash right now, I can't believe a bank would offer that kind of deal.

My bonus at Citizens just posted. Noice.

I just wish my employer let me split direct deposit accounts.

Postby **NTP66** » Thu Jun 25, 2020 3:46 pm

We can split DD, but I'm not doing that.

Postby **mac5155** » Thu Jun 25, 2020 10:17 pm

It would allow me to do more at once...

Postby **NTP66** » Tue Jul 07, 2020 8:52 am

I just can't make sense of the market this year. At one point, I was down so much that I basically lost all of last year's gains and then some. Right now, I'm well ahead of where I estimated I'd finish 2020, and it's only July.

I'm able to have my paycheck deposited to my main checking account, and a smaller amount posted to my Marcus account. Your employer doesn't allow this?

Nope - just one account. Then I have to split it up from that account. The only splitting they let us do is into an employer credit union account, and even then it's considered a paycheck deduction vs. a direct deposit.
