    Best CD, MM Rates & Bank Special Deals Thread 2023 - Please post updates here

    Purchased 12 mth CD with 5.25% APR from Wings Financial CU this morning. Betting that rates will drop in January. I'll kick the dog if they go up.

    Getting a prostate PSA test directly

    For the last 10 years at my job, I was required to have a physical every 6 months so I kept up with an annual PSA test for the most part. Retired for 14 years and have been lax so I went to the Mayo (love this place) for a consult. Had the PSA result an hour after taking blood (1.3). Whew...

    Wasn't what I had hoped. My CU is still offering 5.40% for a 12 mth CD compounded quarterly if less than $100,000, monthly if above. May purchase more now with no Fed rate increase.

    Any Effective Tinnitus Therapies?

    Isn't that the truth. Haven't noticed it all day until there was a link to this thread and I foolishly opened it. I can hear the hissing now.

    Where is the used car price going?

    I am with you re my '05 Camry with a cracked windshield that I inherited and is still going strong. Wife is too embarrassed to ride in it. I keep threatening to buy a newer one and she threatens back with div if I do.

    AMEX seems to lag in their CD rates. I am getting 5.30% for an 11-month CD thru Wings Financial CU.

    Best source for cheap international flights?

    For cheap airfairs consider marrying someone in the airline industry. The more senority they have the better. Even though I was already employed by an airline, I married my wife for her senority. It also helped that she was kinda cute too. "Marry me and fly for free."

    what do you spend on hobbies, in retirement?

    I agree. I spend 80% of my money on planes, the rest I just waste.
