Fully Committed
Good Morning everyone, I just want to share my progress for the last two (2) weeks. I visited both Schwab and Fidelity to talk with advisors about their company's financial services. I opened a brokerage account after watching the Wealth Twin video. I will be retiring soon from the Federal Government with funds in the TSP (retirement account) so I opened up a Traditional IRA and Roth IRA. I also, opened up a High Yield Savings account with CapitalOne (formerly ING). I already had a basic checking and basic savings account with CapitalOne but moved most of my money to my new High Yield Saving account.

Lesson learned - stop procrastinating
Update - We had a Capital One 360 high interest account for over 5 years. The interest went back down last year to 1%. I was going back and forth between finding a new high-yield savings account or a money market fund to keep our savings account. I finally called Capital One and asked what products they offered with a higher interest. Over the phone they changed my account over to a "new" higher interest savings account. It was so easy. Lesson learned - stay on top of my accounts.
