    Different plans cover different drugs. Many plans have different levels of prices for different types of drugs. UnitedHealthcare mostly covers common medicines like insulin and antidepressants. Generic drugs are usually less expensive than brand-name and specialty drugs. They give discounts at certain pharmacies. The costs of expensive drugs are based on your plan's cost-sharing system, which includes copays, deductibles, and co-insurance.

    For exact coverage information, you need to check your plan's formulary and perks.

    I would suggest you go with a balanced approach. Understand that VTI covers a lot of different markets, VOOG is all about growth stocks, and QQQ is all about tech stocks. QQQ will grow quickly, but it is more volatile.

    So investing some amount in all three will lower your risk factor, and you can take advantage of tech gains.

    Remember one thing for life while investing: for long-term progress, it's important to make regular investments and diversify your investments every month.

    Small-cap companies can give you positive growth but have a higher volatility rate than established companies. If these small tech companies work, they bring positive returns. Established companies provide steady returns.

    So for balanced results, it's better to diversify your money.

    The key difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum lies in the functions they serve.

    Bitcoin's main purpose is to be a secure, decentralized digital currency for transactions. Ethereum, on the other hand, lets people build decentralized apps. People perceive Bitcoin as more valuable because of its limited supply and security, akin to 'digital gold'. Ethereum focuses on being programmable, with a flexible supply.

    In the US, fixed deposits are called Certificates of Deposit (CD). There are 5 main types of CDs offered by the banks. These are:

    Traditional CDs: They have a fixed term length and interest rate. High-Yield CDs: They offer higher interest rates than traditional CDs. No-Penalty CDs: Allows early withdrawal with any penalties for a certain period. Bump-Up CDs: Allows the customer to request a one-time increase in the interest rate if market rates rise. Jumbo CDs: A significant deposit, usually $100,000 or more, is required to access the higher interest rates of these CDs.

    There are many banks that provide highly competitive CD rates:

    Capital One 360 Ally Bank Marcus by Goldman Sachs Credit Unions

    You can select any bank and open a fixed amount there; all the banks provide good interest rates on fixed deposits.

    For you, I guess Chase Sapphire Banking Debit Card and SoFi Checking & Savings Debit Card would be the best. As these both cards provide offers, discounts on hotel bookings, and cashback on travel bookings, when you book through their travel booking platforms.

    To save more money, you can join hotel loyalty programs (Hilton Honors, Marriott Bonvoy) and book through travel websites (Expedia, Booking.com) that offer you extra discounts.

    By running automated code on a blockchain, Web3 smart contracts remove the need for middlemen. Front-end applications use APIs to communicate, enabling actions like token transfers and data storage. When a user triggers an event, the app sends a transaction, updating the blockchain via the smart contract. These contracts, deployed on platforms like Ethereum or Solana, ensure secure and decentralized connections between apps and the blockchain.

    This 5% return is very attractive, but it's riskier than a traditional FDIC-insured savings account. They offer a lower interest rate, but savings accounts provide safety.

    USDC's stability depends on its reserves and issuer. For large sums, prioritize security over high returns. If you want stability and liquidity, then High-Yield Savings Accounts (HYSAs) are a safe option.

    Strong financial performance is a positive indication, and Eli Lilly is doing well because of their excellent work in type 2 diabetes medicines. The price of their stock is high, but that doesn't mean it will always be in that state.

    So I would suggest, before investing, that you evaluate long-term growth prospects, competition, and potential risks. Always remember one thing: diversification is key; don't just rely on only one stock for long-term growth.

    A price rise is a good signal, yet it doesn't assure a lasting upward trajectory. The cryptocurrency market is known for its volatility, so daily gains don't forecast long-term success. Prioritize analyzing Cardano's underlying technology, adoption, and overall market mood, rather than just daily fluctuations. Quick price increases can be temporary.
