Anyone have any good recommendations for higher paying Savings Accounts? I am looking to move our emergency savings into a savings account that gets 1%+ interest. Good for an extra few hundred dollars a year which is better than my current savings account.
This is the best I have found on the subject. http://www.magnifymoney.com/blog/ear...ounts275921001 Or any other ideas? |

Knowing is one thing but executing is another. The good thing is that I am too lazy to send in more money on my 0 percent car payment or I probably would. Another good thing is my job in my 20's gave me money not a match just gave me retirement money so it was nice to have something before I even took the hit of taking money out of my paycheck.

Hi guys.
I have owned a house for 15years. For the first time, due to moves, I sold it and I'm renting...for now. Hope to get back into a home I can buy in about year. In the meantime, the equity I had built up in previous home is sitting in cash savings. How should I invest it to minimize risk (I need it for down payment on next home in about year) but get best return (savings account is less than 1 percent return) |

You realize that if you have $20,000 in an emergency fund and you are deciding between a .025% and a 1% fund it's all kind of bullshit and time for about $175 if you left it there for the entire year? Don't be so short sided. Buy a short term corporate bond for a much better yield |

But really, if we're only talking about a year, it's not going to matter much. |

Here's a 5 star Vanguard short term corporate bond Index. Had I parked money in there 5 years ago, it would have gained only .6% in those 5 years. And at some point had I needed the money, I could be selling some bonds while they are down. That can't happen in a 1% interest savings account. Bonds to me seem a bit shaky with interest rates sure to rise over the next decade. I'm not sure there's a great play there to park emergency savings unless you guys had something I'm missing? http://quotes.morningstar.com/chart/...&culture=en-US Last edited by lewdog; 08-12-2017 at 08:34 AM.. |

I want to park our emergency savings where they are still fairly liquid. Like if our AC goes out and needs replacement in the next few years, I take can take $10k from it and pay cash. |

Sorry, I just realized that scho was quoting you rather than Tiny. I agree, emergency funds are better in savings. I was thinking of him parking money for a few years until he buys a place again.
