Episode notes
Joy From Downsizing To A Condo
- Suze and KT downsized from a sprawling estate in the Bahamas to a small beach condo and found greater joy and convenience.
- Bringing key personal items made the transition emotionally easy and reduced living costs substantially.
Protect Your TreasuryDirect Account
- Use a unique password for TreasuryDirect and never click links in emails; always type the TreasuryDirect URL directly into your browser.
- Secure your email with two-factor authentication and regularly check linked bank account settings to prevent ACH fraud.
Government Accounts Have Different Fraud Protections
- TreasuryDirect is a government-run system without 24/7 fraud teams and instant reversals like commercial banks.
- Investigations can take time, so digital discipline matters as much as where your money is held.
