What I'm Reading, Listening To, and Watching

I'm still reading The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson. It takes me a long time because I tend to read multiple books at the same time, such as Ready Player One.
My wife and I watched Billy Joel's 100th concert at the Garden. Amazing.

Resources

New: In addition to the new CD page (which now includes no-penalty CDs), I've added a new savings account/MMA page. Let me know what you think.
Best Bank Bonuses (up to $2,000)

NEW: A very popular travel credit card just increased its signup bonus. It's now worth $750 cash or over $900 in travel. Here are the details.

Best,

Rob Berger
