The Emergency Fund: Your First Savings Goal
Financial experts universally recommend building a 3–6 month emergency fund before investing. It prevents debt spirals when unexpected expenses hit.
Where to save it
A High-Yield Savings Account (HYSA) currently pays 4.5–5.0% APY — 10× more than the average bank. Your emergency fund earns money while you sleep. Popular options: Marcus by Goldman Sachs, Ally, SoFi, and American Express Savings.
