Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve never bought bills, I will check it out. I use Marcus savings which just increased its rate from 50 bps to 60 bps yesterday.

You can buy CDs from a Vanguard brokerage account that are yielding about 50% more than the equivalent durations offered at gsbank/Marcus: https://personal.vanguard.com/us/FixedIncomeHome https://personal.vanguard.com/us/FixedIncomeHome

  Brokerage CDs are a pain if you need your money back early. Unlike a normal CD, which you can redeem early for a penalty, you can only sell brokerage CDs on a secondary market. They trade at huge discounts, and you have to pay fees to involve a broker because they are not liquid enough to trade yourself. At least this is how it was when I tried to do this a few years back.
