The Governor quipped, "Now, they say I'm slick...
...down any high-interest debt you may have; not having to pay 11% on an auto loan is as good as earning 11%. And check into U.S. Savings Bonds. They have tax advantages and promise at least 6% if held five years. There are loads of decent, riskier possibilities; but remember: we're talking about money you've had someplace totally safe. Be certain before moving it that you fully understand the risks...
