Thoughts using a Treasury Money Market Fund instead of an HYSA due to the tax advantages for your savings fund? Currently I’m all HYSA, but intrigued about the tax savings with treasuries

Yeah this is a better option for anyone subject to state tax. I never really bother with HYSAs other than for the opening bonus.

Difference is negligible. You’re optimizing for pennies. Either work though.

Reducing your emergency fund and diverting more to your brokerage holdings will serve you better.

Is that something you can only invest in through a brokerage account?

Yes. If you’re in a high tax state it’s pretty much a no brainer, unless you’re chasing bonuses on savings accounts.
Bear in mind some MMF’s aren’t 100% treasuries and some states will only refund the % that qualifies.
Broker will send a form showing the exempt amount.

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field.

Additional Posts in FIRE Financial Independence Retire Early

Have 50k in a checking account at a local bank getting no returns. I like having liquid assets since I support currently myself & girlfriend and any unexpected expenses my mother & younger brother have. Any advice how to calculate what I should keep on reserve vs. invest + learn about consequences of pulling investments early (more tax, fees, etc.). I feel like the inability to access funds when my family needs it has been the reason I haven’t invested outside of 401k and have this cash reserve
