    I wish I had $25,000 lol I'm just asking people...relax

    I always wondered what people with millions do with their cash. The bank only insures $250,000 right?

    with savings accounts drawing less than 1% , i would rather have my money in a checking account , the reason being , a checking account is a demand deposit , meaning no matter how much you had in the account the bank has to release the funds to you if you demand it , like withdraw or write a check to that amount.

    where as with a saving account the bank can wait a time to give you the funds if they wanted to , i forget how long they can wait before giving you your savings , i think up to 30 days.

    Only if it in the process of being spent.

    If you have any debt get rid of it, then start saving cash.

    When you have so much cash you don't feel safe keeping it at home invest in PM's, preps, guns and ammo.

    When you have enough of these to get you buy for a few months should the power go out, then start investing.
