Also, they say 5.05,and that's the APY. What is the APR? That does make a difference.

I'm thinking about transferring back to Vanguard Prime Money Market. The rate there was 5.08 and they already have my set-up there. I've always kept some money there, but I might also split it up with a CD.

Oh, and yes, I am a female.
APR are what lenders quote or disclose for loans.
APYs are used for your savings accounts.

I would be careful with Money market funds as they are not FDIC insured and you can *potentially* lose the value of your principal.
