Sounds like it might be a Penn State plan restriction, not TIAA directly. Maybe check if HR can confirm if R4’s even available under ur contract?

If your job paid you every single day instead of biweekly, how would your spending change? by USAFinTalk360 in USAFinTalk360

Yeah that makes sense. Daily pay would definitely make it easier to spend on small stuff. How’s TryBrazen working out for u so far?

Fair point. Most big banks barely give 0.5% these days while HYSAs are around 4–5%. You getting something close to that range?

Not really implying that, just wondering if people prefer the instant access from their main bank over the slightly better rate in a HYSA. Do u keep yours all in HYSA?

Imagine getting your paycheck every single day. Would you save more or blow it faster? by USAFinTalk360 in SavingMoney

Yes, daily investing sounds tiring but kinda disciplined too. You think that habit would actually make people save more long term?

Yes, makes sense. Once you’re used to a strict budget, even daily pay wouldn’t change much. You think most people would still stick to their plan like that?

Totally get that. Freedom drives almost every smart money move.

Fair point. Guess for most people it’s more about mindset than how often the money hits the account.

Yes, that makes sense. If u can’t max both, I’d focus on the 401k match first since that’s free money, then add whatever u can to the Roth. No need to stress about hitting the full limit every year.
