When do you need the money?

Very short term: HYSA (1%~) and stablecoins (7-9%)

Short term: ibonds (8%~ but with penalty rules)

Long term: index fund like VTI

I just opened a brokerage account in fidelity, transferred it, then bought VTI and VXUS

Assuming no high-interest debt, I’d make sure you have a 3-6 month emergency fund in a HYSA, consider ibonds for a 1 year time horizon (if you’re comfortable with locking it up), and then general SPYY or VTI investments after that.

I use Ally Bank and really like it. The few times I’ve had to call, I was able to get a person quickly and solve my problem right away.

I bonds. Rate will increase to 9.3% after next week. $10k max though

Not officially, but people who know the bonds well know that it will be over 9% with the recent inflation rates

My current role is at a small company, and I’m not sure how I could grow within the role because Im not advancing my skill, I just do the same thing every day at a lower level. I like my current role because it’s flexible and I’m paid well for not doing very much work. Should I switch to a more rigorous job?
