I did manage to secure a 3month CD rate for 2.23% today. I nearly cry just writing the number down. I laid down quite a chunk of cash also. And I had to change my financial institution to do it. I am finding these people are quite brazen. They think that because they have your cash, that they have you for life. The difference was quite large. I was asking about renewing at my original institution, they quoted me 1.27% for 6 months and would not negociate. Being an ER'ee, I have a lot of time so... I strolled down the road, and got 2.23%. I went back, got a cashiers check and deposited it at the place down the road. Other than getting some much needed excersise, I got some satisfaction of seeing the managers face when I closed the account. I really believe, they think one will be complacent and accept their poultry offers.
I should have explained that is why I am retired and he is not... . but hey I am not like that.
I have another maturing on Monday. I secured the 2.23% on those funds also. We will see what happens.
