OT:
I have a decent amount of savings in a BoA savings account. It garners a whopping .01% interest (yes, .01%, not 1%).
There's some money market accounts out there that are in the 4.5-5% range, 450x better than I'm currently getting to have my money sit there. Unfortunately they're all with tiny banks that feel like they could be the next SVB. Does anybody have experience with small banks for using them for money market, high-yield savings, or even CD accounts?

Maybe the soldiers are underpaid? Maybe pay the soldiers more? No! The car makers must be paid less instead.You may appreciate that what these workers are demanding is more pay than you made as a senior Captain, and more than 99% of the enlisted personnel in the U.S. Military at the top - for a 31 hour work week.
Even for the $28 an hour average, a Master Sergeant has to be in 30 years to reach the pay they are demanding - BEFORE overtime and BEFORE we consider the 20% cut in work hours.
NR people probably: "The answer is clearly to pay the military people less to bring that back in line with low wages in the private sector."This balance has gotten out of whack as military pay raises accelerated through the 90s and the first decade of the new millennium. At the same time, according to the research, average wages across the U.S. have dropped.
Officers, generally, are making closer to the 77th percentile of comparable civilian wages, while enlisted troops are at the 85th percentile.
“These findings suggest that the RMC percentiles may be too high, since recruit quality today exceeds DoD’s benchmarks and, further, quality and retention both exceed the levels observed during the late 1980s and mid-1990s, when the 70th percentile was established,” the report found. “That said, these findings do not necessarily imply that the 70th percentile continues to be the appropriate benchmark.”
I dunno guys, what do you think, dilbert? Your the investment guru guy. Do you want to transfer your finances to Musk?Elon Musk wants X to be the center of your financial world, handling anything in your life that deals with money. He expects those features to launch by the end of 2024, he told X employees during an all-hands call on Thursday, saying that people will be surprised with “just how powerful it is.”
“When I say payments, I actually mean someone’s entire financial life,” Musk said, according to audio of the meeting obtained by The Verge. “If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”
X CEO Linda Yaccarino said the company sees this becoming a “full opportunity” in 2024. “It would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year,” Musk said.

some people would rather stash their money away like squirrels than put it in a bank, and you've got to concede sometimes that they've got a point. banks and collections people can pull some really nefarious stuff with your cash with fees and withholdings.
would suck to have a house fire, though.
governments dont need to bail out banks anymore due to basel III rules. also, govts dont want to do any bailouts anymore, even the swiss let credit suisse go RIP (there was some fuckery about their debt tho, swiss basically fucked all the debt holders in and wiped out their value)Dilbert_X wrote:
