If we could get about 4% or more now, we could take a nice vacation every year.
Looking for a money market that pays that and is tied to the rate of inflation. Completely out of stocks now and made a good amount and have paid the capital gains on it already.
I think Vanguard has a money market tied to the rate of inflation that sounds good. Or figure out how to buy shorter term Treasury Notes and just roll them over until we are ready for a trip every year or two.
Right now the market is scaring me and glad to be out of it.
