Apologies if I'm missing something, is this discussing the new Bank Term Funding Program or some other guarantee? (edit: I see the phrasing "fully protected by the FDIC" -- this might be the general idea that depositors won&#

mine was set to 500 (not 5000) as well. I'd moved on from lastpass earlier this year but didn't delete my account... though I suppose in that case I'd wonder if I'd deleted in time, or if they really deleted all my info.

I might be wrong but don't gifts count against the recipient's annual $10k limit? That is, you could only give $2k to someone who has purchased $8k for themselves, all within the same year? Though, here is a Bogleheads thread wher

I believe you're up to speed and when talking about the US Federal Reserve, it's colloquially "The Fed" and not "The FED" But the fully-capitalized version does show up a lot.
