@meed18 My wife did not want me to buy a used car. If we were going to go the used car route I would have spent the money to fix the small issues but as they say a happy wife, happy life.

So what we ended up doing was the Money Market and Checking at All American Bank 3.0 on the checking and 2.5 on the money market

@atikovi said in Critique my plan please:

The top savings accounts are around 2.5%. I wouldn’t tie up money in a CD unless the rate was significantly higher. I would keep a small amount in checking which isn’t going to yield much anyway, and transfer in from savings when you need it.

Yes the top savings now are 2.5% but what is the guarantee the rate will go up?

@jtownsucks46 said in Critique my plan please:

How much are your car payments going to be?

The F&I guy said it would be $919 a month for 36 months.

I recently inherited close to 300K from my father’s passing. I bought a new car that is around 35K with tax, extended service plan, and gap insurance.

I purchased a new car at 0% for 3 years. I would have gone for a longer loan time but 36 months is all they offered.

I plan on opening a high yield checking account (suggestions welcome) and fund it with 4 months worth of payments. Then I will open the following CD’s
One three month (suggestions welcome)
One six month (suggestions welcome)
One twelve month (suggestions welcome)
One twenty four month (suggestions welcome)
and I will use the principal in the cd to continue to fund the payment account the car payments are comming out.

My area has lots of them for 19.99 Anyone have a receipt scan for a price adjustment?

I saw the posting about the ONN USB Numeric keypad at Walmart for $1.00 I placed an online order for it at at the price of $7.63 on the website. I figured it would;d be held for me and I could ask for a price adjustment later. Right after picking it up yesterday I received an email that they did a price adjustment of $6.63 So it looks like an instore pickup will automatically adjust DOWN to the current selling price at time of pickup even if the original price was higher.

I chatted with customer service. I can’t renew early butthye are giving me a $20.00 credit for items sold by Amazon to make up the difference.

it’s 125 stars for a free item. That could be a drink, or food item.

Glad to be here at the new home.
