What's a good savings rate today?
As of 2026, high-yield savings accounts offer 4-5% APY. Shop around — online banks typically pay 10x more than traditional brick-and-mortar.
Should I save or invest extra cash?
Keep 3-6 months of expenses in savings for emergencies. Anything beyond that time horizon should generally be invested for higher long-term returns.
