How to Add Beneficiaries on E*TRADE Without Losing Your Mind

“Because your money should go where you want it, not where the probate court thinks it should, I am sharing this information.” Ah, E*TRADE. The place where your money grows, your trades execute (sometimes), and your hopes for financial freedom flutter like a candlestick chart on a volatile Thursday. But what happens if you kick the bucket before you get that Tesla stock to moon? Simple: you assign a beneficiary. Unfortunately, E*TRADE doesn’t make this as intuitive as you might think. This isn’t a “click here and boom, you’re immortal” situation. But fear not, fellow capitalist. I’ve braved the pixelated jungle so you don’t have to. 🛠️ Step-by-Step: Setting a Beneficiary for Your E*TRADE Brokerage Account (aka “How to ensure your money doesn’t end up in your ex’s lap or your neighbor's GoFundMe”) Log in at etrade.com .

NJ's Middle-Class Squeeze: Too Much for Help, Not Enough for Comfort

This is a long post — longer than what I usually write — because what I’m talking about here isn’t a small annoyance or a passing frustration. It’s something that has been building for years, and I’m finally putting it all into words. I’m upset, I’m exhausted, and I’m passionate about what follows, because it affects every working person in this state who’s trying to stay afloat.

These are the people tightening their budgets, lowering their thermostats, cutting back wherever they can, and still watching their bills rise for reasons that have nothing to do with their own usage or behavior. If you’re part of that group, or you know someone who is, then what follows will probably resonate with you. And if you’re not, then I hope this gives you a clearer picture of what the middle class i...

Understanding Treasury Bond Auctions: The Difference Between High Yield and Interest Rate

Treasury bonds are a popular choice for investors looking for a reliable source of income backed by the U.S. government. However, understanding how these bonds are priced at auction can be confusing, especially when comparing the High Yield and the Interest Rate (Coupon Rate) columns. In this post, I'll break it down using a real-world example.  A Look at a Recent Treasury Bond Auction Here’s an example of a 20-year Treasury bond that was recently auctioned: Security Term CUSIP Reopening Issue Date Maturity Date High Yield Interest Rate 20-Year 912810UF3 Yes 01/31/2025 11/15/2044 4.900% 4.625% What Do These Numbers Mean? CUSIP : This is a unique identifier for the bond. Reopening : Since it says "Yes," this means the bond was originally issued earlier and is now being reoffered. Issue Date : January 31, 2025—this is when the bond will be offi...
