This should be my last big electric bill for the year. August is usually the hottest month. I was surprised to see that this bill was a few cents lower than last months. I budget $160 a month because that is the highest bill I have ever gotten since living in this house for 11 years. This month's bill was under $117 which is not bad. I have a really big house plus 2-2 car garages, one with an eff. apt. above it.
My envelope with the electic money has kind of built up and I have $120 left over in it to add to the challenge.
also, the stock market was up and the braves won, so I will add $122 to my challenge money.
Prev. total $20,955.00
today 122.00
new total $21,077.00

Be careful.
Scottrade does not allow any Money Market accounts -AND- does CD at 10K +.
So much for taking care of the small investor.
Please correct this set of statmenets, if I am wrong. Thanks.

You’re correct about both. Scottrade offers no money market fund option and their CD min is $10,000. The rate they offer on their interest bearing cash account is also pretty low. If you stockpile your cash, I’d suggest moving it elsewhere. Scottrade must be profiting quite well from their cash accounts. Too bad most people don’t know better.
