sorry, i was meant with humor. Good for you saving up that amount of cash. Good problem to have! lol. There's a lot of savings accounts that now offer decent yield. I saw Marcus by GS is up to 3.750%. If unsure to buy a home or invest in the market, that may be a good holding spot.

Follow the flowchart.

My generic advice:

Here is the flowchart from the r/personalfinance subreddit’s Prime Directive. If you follow that, you will be ahead of almost all of your peers.

Stop by the sidebar to see the Common Topics, which include basic money handling and investing.

You don’t need to talk to anyone or buy some random book to do this. You have all the tools right here.

😅 its always very interesting when people assume that i haven't applied to the easiest places to apply to 😅

i got downvoted for this but it's really crazy to me that people assume there are folks out there who want to be struggling to pay their bills and have food. i've applied from all jobs from fast food to office work.

No reason for the snark, it's why this sub exists. Anyway, a few years ago I had about $30k cash and was actively saving for a down payment. My income went up a good bit and I didn't change my plan. Couple years later and the balance has gone up while I never found a place.

I also didn't grow up with much, so I am risk adverse and subconsciously inclined to find comfort in having more cash on hand than I need.
