You could put in it a CD for a guaranteed rate return if you don’t need it to be liquid. Issue with online high yield banks they can raise or lower the rates at anytime really.

People don’t like Marcus because there aren’t ATMs and other in person amenities...seeing as it’s a saving account you probably don’t need those anyways :) but you will have to have a separate checking account

Thanks. I've got 75k to put in temporarily as I'll use it to take out a mortgage in a year or so. Is anyone one bank better for that size of saving?

I have Marcus and have no issues at all. No mobile app but I can get over that

Thanks all. CD looks to be a good shout

Check with credit unions once rates...

Ally is the way to go

Hi guys, any update on work from office

I just started with a company as an HR Generalist. Within the 3 weeks of being there, my boss’s boss left, and today I found out my boss gave notice. HR is not valued at the company and it’s disheartening to know I was hired into a mess. I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.

Any insight on negotiating Westlaw or transitioning to lexis?

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.
