Sitting on a pile of cash. Hah.

Yeah, I got a good chuckle out of that as well

Seems like a good time to buy Amazon.

Postby **mac5155** » Thu Oct 27, 2022 6:45 pm

Probably goes lower but yeah, maybe.

@DigitalGypsy66: Marcus bumped to 2.50%.

Postby **NTP66** » Fri Oct 28, 2022 5:17 pm

Also, this is a good week to check your retirement accounts.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Fri Oct 28, 2022 5:37 pm

Good week to roll my 401k over.

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Fri Oct 28, 2022 6:30 pm

I think this is the highest rate I've had with Marcus.

Definitely is. Still, I miss the ING Direct 4%+ days.

Nah, still depressing assuming you checked about a month or two ago

Gotta just have a short memory these days, my man. Two solid weeks of growth is positive news.

Nice. New I bond rate is 6.89%

Postby **mac5155** » Tue Nov 01, 2022 10:56 am

Seems a bit lower than expected, no? Wasn't it up around 8.?

No, it was predicted to be 6.48% which would have come out to 8.05% average for the 12 months. Actual 12 month now is 8.255%. No big deal, it's only about a $40/yr difference on $20K, but it's something.

Here are the top 10 place to retire for 2022-2023:

Lancaster, PA
Harrisburg, PA
Pensacola, FL
Tampa, FL
York, PA
Naples, FL
Daytona Beach, FL
Ann Arbor, MI

Who the **** wants to live in those places let alone retire there?

Ah that was my confusion, I was looking at the 12mo average.

These places are affordable because no one wants to live there. Do the authors realize that

Let me pick 2, and I'm in. Lancaster is beautiful and I'll spend the winter in Naples.

My man...Lancaster County is indeed awesome. Went to Cherry Crest Farm, Kitchen Kettle Village, and Strasburg this weekend.

I would argue that in addition to being a great place to retire, it is a fantastic place to raise kids.

Buzz kill jpowwww

Postby **Beveridge** » Wed Nov 02, 2022 4:03 pm

You say buzz kill, I say higher Marcus rate incoming.

Postby **mac5155** » Wed Nov 02, 2022 4:11 pm

Oh enjoy your extra $12 a month

Postby **NTP66** » Wed Nov 02, 2022 5:03 pm

I earn way more than that every month at Marcus, but it pales in comparison to everything else. I’d rather the market not respond so wildly every time somebody farts.
