CIT Bank pays 4% and is FDIC insured to $250k with no risk.
Another reason to not visit California. It's so dumb, they tax people that came to town to spend money. Brilliant!
Don't drive it in Central.
In taxed accounts. In a Roth it's an easy way to generate tax free income in retirement.

That's me. And the amazing part is that in my lowest point in my life, God bestowed on me the greatest blessings. I just didn't know it at the time.

Birds are just tiny, flying, dinosaurs.
That's the problem I need in my life. The real problem is the average home price is $3,037,163.

I was in ninth grade in '69, graduated in '72.
Mine's AAPL also. I purchased it in 2018 at a basis cost per share at $17.44. It's gone up 1,662.65% since then. CLS is second, up 1,319.66% (it was purchased in 2023 with a per share basis cost of $26.18).
Diversify in tech and buy SMH ETF. It's up 160.65% in the past year. If you had invested $10k in it ten years ago, it would be worth $260k today.
