    Cheapwad Finds--Opposite of Blow That Dough!

    Buy nothing and starbucks Buynothing (now called give freely) is amazing. But since it isn’t a good deal at a retail place like the OP said, mine is Starbucks. I wait for the star runs that give 1 free drink (50 stars) per two orders. I order the medium (grande) in their reusable cups which...

    What happens to T bills when the Fed has their next rate increase?

    Tbills = no coupon Maybe it is semantics but T-Bills are Treasury Issuance 1 year or less in maturity and have no coupon attached to it. They are issues at a discount and that discount (discount price) is used to calculate the yield you would get on the T-Bill. For the sake of being very...

    At Odds With Spouse/Covid Social Distancing

    Thank You! Gumby! Thank you! I was waiting for someone to reply that x% efficacy doesn’t mean you odds of catching covid are 1-x% when vaccinated. That’s part of the problem with people in this world arguing back and forth and spreading numbers but not actually understanding how to interpret...

    Cash back or points?

    How did you get $600 in travel credit? I know it is $300 in credits per year (unless you are counting this year as $300 and next year as $300 and cancel before the annual fee is charged next year?). But I agree, the Chase Reserve card is great. $450 fee but subtract out $1000 sign-up bonus...
