Does anyone still put money in their savings account? (I have 0.5% annual yield one) or do you just directly invest savings in Mutual Funds/Stocks

I put almost all of my money into savings, ammo, or metals. The market bubble is bound to break and even though our fiat currency is intrinsically worthless, I’d rather have paper dollars than numbers on a screen tanking into a fraction of what I was told it was previously worth.

Don’t buy into the BS of “invest every single penny in the stock market.” I would look for real estate, especially if inflation is coming. You need cash on hand to do that so a high yield savings account is prob better than investing in the market right now

Yeah, use a high yield savings tho such as “Yotta” or “Marcus”.... I do use a Bank of America savings for short term things tho too

Would like your advices. Awhile back I applied and was video interview for a position at a competitor. I suspect I wouldn’t get it based on the vibes they gave off.

So I had an interview with a company (3 rounds actually) which went pretty well. I even rearranged my schedule for last minute interviews because it’s the job that I really want. My recruiter said that they all love me & even wanted me to speak to the CEO. Then they needed a few days to speak with another candidate. After a few days, I was told that they needed another day because the other candidate couldn’t interview with the department lead. I’m really worried now. How should I take this?

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far. Some of them I won’t hear back until September/October. Is it wrong to accept the offer and then reject it if I get a better offer? I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.
