I want to move some of my money (~30K) into an investment platform. My main goal is to have this money not sit and lose value in a savings account. I've heard of Vanguard, TD Ameritrade, and Fidelity. What should I be considering before choosing a platform? 🤔

I was planning to buy a home next year, but now I expect to renew my lease once it expires. If so, I wouldn't be buying a home for at least 2 years from now.

Guessing I should still leave the down payment in a HYSA (getting 3% right now)? Sucks to miss out on market returns, but I understand that conventional wisdom is not to invest money you'll need in the short term (within 3ish years). I'm definitely tempted to put a portion of that in VTI though...

Not sure if this has been discussed before — my new employer's policy doesn't allow me to participate in their 401k plan immediately, only after 90 days. Wanted to see if this is a common practice (first time for me), and if your employer compensates you in any way for the lost savings opportunity.
