3 Things
1. The Medicare Trustees Report Contained No Bad News. Now for the Bad Part. (Center for Retirement Research) 2. America Must Free Itself from the Tyranny of the Penny (NY Times) 3. The 50 Percent Rule (Allan Roth)
My wife and I watched Rebel Ridge last night on Netflix. We enjoyed it. Good guys win; bad guys lose.
The fourth season of Slow Horses is underway, and the first episode did not disappoint. There's an excellent piece about the author behind the Slow Horses books, Mick Herron (WSJ)
Resources
New This Week:
A few key updates this week:
The Capital One Venture Rewards Card's increased signup bonus valued at $1,000 when used for travel is ending on 9/9/24.
Rates on savings accounts, CDs and no-penalty CDs have remained largely unchanged, but I suspect they will start to go lower as the Fed begins cutting rates.
Offers Still Available:
American Express increased the welcome offer on its Business Gold Card by 30,000 Membership Rewards points (now 100k)
The largest bonus I'm aware of at $2,000 for the Capital One Spark Cash Plus. Details: Get $2,000 Cash Back once you spend $30,000 in the first 3 months. Earn an additional $2,000 cash bonus for every $500K spent during the first year
