The reminder to decline dynamic currency conversion is especially practical; that “convenient” option can quietly cost more than the headline exchange rate suggests. I also like framing $110.60 as a day budget while noting that bank fees can reduce the amount you actually receive.
The comparison between APY and the stated rate makes the effect of compounding clear. Checking the early-withdrawal penalty alongside the maturity value is a useful reminder that flexibility has value too.
