Depending on your monthly banking activity you might want to also consider a rewards checking account. Some pay 3-4% but have deposit caps between 10k-20k.

I have not been able to do much research due to some health issues my wife has. Here is my current scenario

 

I inherited about 250K  combined from the sale of my father's house and what was left in his checking account after my aunt raided what she could (she was the executor of the estate and sent me no accounting of the accounts)

 

My wife inherited about 110K from the sale of her parent's house in Israel. 

 

Last week my wife bought a new car for me 0%$ for 3 years Monthly payment is $990 a month. I will pay off the car using the 250K I inheiated so I need a liquid account. My first thought was to put 4000 in a checking account then do a CD Ladder for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and two years to then replenish the checking account but with interest rates going up I didn't want to lock the money away and possibly lose a decent amount of interest.

Pick two of the top five from this list and move half of the money to each until you decide:

Wait at least a year before you buy any more big ticket items you wouldn't have purchased a year ago.

Thank you. Opening a money market and checking account there.  The only big ticket items are ones we planned on with the money. The first is solar panels for the house. We are buying them outright not a lease. Also, we need to fill in a collapsed swimming pool and add some enhancements to our house.

Planning to spend money that wasn't yours doesn't count.

 

Slowly pay for things you actually need (contrast with want) in priority order using only the interest you earn on the money. 

 

Once the needs are met, move on to wants, again in priority order.

 

2.5% on $360,000 will get you $9,000 a year you didn't have before. 

 

Don't let the principal run down the inside of your leg.

And I was turned down due to my Chex report. Next step is to have my wife apply only in her name without it being a joint account.
