If you really have a million dollars, you can easily afford to see a financial advisor.

that's what she said

How about twenty $50K reward checking accounts?

there is no place safer than under your bed.
If i were you, i would cash out all in dollar bills, secure in stacks neatly and sleep on it.
Imagine falling asleep with the great smell from the bills, imagine the great dreams you are going to have, imagine how girls will open their legs when they see your bed.

This way you will always have some liquidity since you will always have CDs coming due.But any interest you earn won't be protected by the FDIC unless you have the correct beneficiaries on each account. Try a smaller $amount at more institutions like $75K at 13 institutions. Just be sure to calendar for the maturity dates.

Wow, having more than $100k in savings is such a headache! We should try to avoid it as much as possible!

Imagine falling asleep with the great smell from the bills, imagine the great dreams you are going to have, imagine how girls will open their legs when they see your bed.keeping it in bills is risky. while one million one dollar bills is quite a few, it could be stolen in just a couple of trips to the getaway car in boxes. Think pennies. One hundred million pennies. At 3 grams per penny, that's roughly 660,000 lbs of pennies. Even the craftiest of theives isn't going anywhere with your hard-earned hard cash without some construction equipment. Of course, neither are you.

And the metal in those pennies would be worth a lot more than a million!!
