   A bit OT for this thread, but I was shocked that my MM account was paying   
   4.5% APY, where my car loan rate is 3.9%.  Now I know that I have to pay   
   income tax on the 4.5%, but it's gotten to the point that if you are   
   clever, your money will no longer be earning 0.001%, and will still be   
   fairly liquid.   
      
   Cheers!
