Wondering if I'm being penny wise, pound foolish here.

Just took a 9 hour drive to another state. Route 1 has a portion of the road that is a $6 toll. Route 2 detours around the toll, but adds 20 min of drive time. I went with route 2, but am wondering what others might say.

So happy to see our tax return from the IRS pending in our checking account. With all the craziness of the past month, I had a small concern about our money coming through.

Also seriously considering divesting from my paper savings bonds. I've been slowly cashing them out as they reach maturity, but I'm not convinced the current administration won't default on their payments given the verbage around some loans not being valid.
