Most of our liquid funds are in our checking account. It pays 6% interest.

I'm about to buy as many equities as possible, especially bank stocks. They may go lower, but they're getting to the point of being severely undervalued, especially since most banks have gone through most of their writeoffs.

Verity Credit Union. It's not a teaser rate. Velocity Checking by Verity Credit Union

They make money off of the transaction fees, so to get that interest rate you have to make 12 debit card transactions a month and you have to log in to home banking once a month. They use the debit card transaction fees to pay the interest rate. One nice thing about credit unions: the profits go back to the customers rather than the shareholders.

Right now I am not putting any additional funds into our primary investment vehicle at all. I retired on pension at 42. We are watching as our portfolio grows and grows.

I highly recommend residential rental properties.

In my case, I can draw cash from my portfolio from time to time, and still watch as it continues to grow.
