Have you got some money stashed away for a rainy day? If you’re like me, you may be sitting on some spare dollars you were gifted throughout the years. Maybe it’s acting as your Emergency Fund or maybe it’s just another account that came with your checking account. Do you know what the APY (annual percentage yield) on that savings account looks like? If you’re using your big bank’s savings account (like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, etc.), you’re likely seeing a percentage around .09. That’s not exactly providing you with some extra fun money.

I’m not here to judge anyone for a lack of financial wisdom: shit, I’ve got miles to go myself. There were things I didn’t know about retirement planning until this year – that’s ten full wasted years from my first paycheck. I’ve missed out on large chunks of change simply by “living life” instead of putting individuals who knew better in place to assist me. I didn’t know any different: just some dumb kid from India that showed up and got lucky.
