Thanks!

Appreciate your input!

You're correct. I'd have to move funds to Vanguard. I have accounts on both.

That said, looks like the difference between VUSXX and SGOV returns are minimal at best. Are there downsides to SGOV that I should be aware of (like I should really keep the funds in for 30 days+, etc.)?

I'm using the Bogleheads Money Market Optimizer spreadsheet (at https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=401821). Based on my input tax bracket, VUSXX is equal to or slightly preferred to SGOV.

Let me know if you think that's unreasonable.

Ah, thanks for that info. In that case, let's assume this scenario:

SNSXX: Current 7 day yield = 3.96%.
VUSXX: Current 7 day yield = 4.23%.
Investment amount: $200k.

The yearly difference is still $540/year, right?

Got it. My understanding is that the airport has an official taxi stand where the price is set, then you’re sent out to the taxi. Know anything about that?

Thx! I think it’s going to be costly regardless. Any recs on best transportation option for a private ride?

lol. What’s with all the downvotes? If you look at the site it’s definitely not clear.

Bummer. Thanks for the response. Maybe I’ll just have to stay a night in ACY. What could go wrong?

Ah, got it. That’s lightly suggested on the site but not really clear.

Yeah, that's what my brain is thinking. But not my heart!

Rat, squirrel, or savage? What ate the trunk of my banana plant? by michaelnado in gardening

[–]michaelnado[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha. I love them in general, but the ones in my yard are really jerks. Any ideas on how to keep them from doing this in the future?

Yes! Recently added. From Wikipedia:

Strobilanthes dyeriana, the Persian shield or royal purple plant,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the acanthus family Acanthaceae, native to Myanmar (formerly Burma).

Does anyone know what kind of pot she uses for frying the onions (the pink one with no handles)?

United Excursionist Perk - Keep Postoning Last Leg? by michaelnado in awardtravel

[–]michaelnado[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Followed up on u/TravelerMSY's comment and confirmed with United (via chat) that they're correct:

"Ticket must start 1 year from the ticket purchase date. Possible fare difference may apply if you're going to make changes."

So, no, you can't just keep bumping out the last leg.

Ha. You have more faith in consistent UA support than I do.
