All right, listen up to me, everybody. Interest rates are not going to last. They're going down, down, down, down, down. So I want you to take advantage of the 12 to 17 month CD at myalliant.com. You have to look at it. So much higher than treasuries. I cannot even tell you. So currently, they are paying for amounts of $1,000 to $74,999, 4.25 APR for $75,000 and up. It is 4.30.
4.25.
4.25.
4.25. We are strong.
We are here. We will thrive. Together we will rise. With a little bit of faith and everything it takes. We are strong. We are one.
March 27th, 2025. Welcome to the Women in Money podcast, as well as everyone smart enough to listen. Hi, everybody. Robert, the producer here. So it turns out there was a major electrical failure on the island where Susie and KT live. And of course, you know that one needs electricity in order to record a podcast. And you should know by now that we don't like to leave you without a show.
So what we're going to do today is revisit part of an Ask KT and Susie Anything episode from a while back. And we're going to jump right into it with KT asking the first question.
This question's from Ed. He writes, I'll keep it short. I'm 51. I have $10,000 in a bank account. Would Susie suggest investing it in a low-cost brokerage account or using it to pay the taxes on converting some of my somewhat hefty balance, $600,000, in a traditional 403b to a Roth 403b? Now, Susie, remember, Ed's 51.
If it were me, Ed, I would absolutely take that $10,000. Since you want to take it and invest it anyway in a brokerage account, I think that your money would be far better converting money to a Roth 403b where you will be also investing it, but you're going to be investing it tax-free. So yes, I would be doing that if I were you. but I would be checking it with my CPA. Yes, KT.
