Where to Keep It?

High-yield savings accounts currently offer rates around 4.5–5%, making them the obvious home for emergency funds. The money stays liquid, earns meaningful interest, and is psychologically separate from your checking account — reducing the temptation to spend it. Avoid keeping your emergency fund in the stock market. The whole point is that it's there when you need it most — which is often during market downturns.
