Again, you're missing the point. There's not a financial adviser worth his or her salt that would tell you to take the money in installments.

If you are going to insist that one can't get 4 percent on a CD, MBNA, which is the bank that issues more credit cards than any other in the US, offers a 4.2% on a 30-month CD and 5.3% on a 60-month.

Here; see for yourself: MBNA CD Rates

Good point, which will inevitably be lost on morphius.

On the other hand, think of all the good works you could do with so much extra moolah.
