Savings Advice

*beginner level*

Do you have a savings account? Yes? Okay – this is for you.

Up until recently I had a regular degular savings account at Navy Fed, they have a APY of .25%(this is shit btw)

APY means: Annual Percentage Yield, AKA the percentage I can earn off what’s in that account.

For some reason I always liked the idea of banking at a go to place, creature of habit I guess. The more I shopped around though banks have different rates for savings accounts.

Now I have a 5% APY rate, which is pretty good for a savings account. It also has (unlimited) withdrawals. So if you are still being a wuss about saving, here you go.

Savings accounts to check out with high APY

1. Wealthfront (this is who I use)

2. American Express (this is who my bestie uses)

3. CashApp (they have a surprisingly high APY)

4. Ally (some of my coworkers use this)

TL;DR

Higher APY is always better when it comes to a savings account, pay attention to withdrawal limits if you need quick access to funds
