What’s the best way I can save for a home? It hurts to have anything more than 10k in my savings account. Don’t want the money to just sit but also I’m a bit weary about putting more money in the market with the impending doom.

Keep it in a savings account. To me the safety is more important than a return.

Use a short term high grade bond fund. VFSTX, VSGBX, VUBFX are options from Vanguard.

Friday checkin!! How’s everyone doing? It’s finally pool weather in texas which is a big drinking trigger for me but also a big positive. I love being in the sun. It recharges me. I love to swim, float, listen to audiobooks or rock out to music in the pool. Throw a meat on the grill, peel a salad. I feel healthy and recharged and the Claws compliment the day well. Tricks me into thinking I can drink healthy.
