I added up my interest for the month and it came to $2302.76. I really expected it to go down this month because my main bank here has lowed it's rate from 5.25% to 4.2%. I put some money into Vanguard when the money market was paying 5% but now it is down to 4.72%, the last time I checked. Every time they lower the prime rate, it does hurt us savers.

You're definitely an inspiration, Ima.
As for Money Market Funds... I find that they work best as a means for your investments. They're good as a low-risk (low-gain) diversifier, as well as a place to temporarily park your money until you figure out what funds you want to buy, and when.
By the way, do you have Admiral shares? I'll bet you do. Now there's something else I greatly aspire to.
