Some others have said, but it really matters how old you are and what your goals are. But as a general rule of thumb…

  1. money for bills and monthly expenses can stay in a low-interest checking (or savings) account. Keep only as much as you need for a month, maybe a bit as a cushion just in case

  2. money you’re planning on spending in the next 1-5 years in a high yield savings account (you’ll make higher interest) to use as “sinking funds” or an emergency fund (3-9 months worth of monthly expenses, give or take)

  3. invest the rest

Sad question… In killing mosquitos, are you also killing other insects?

My hairstylist told me to get biotin gummies even the really cheap ones. I did, and my hair is noticeably thicker

I’ve always thought that if I ever win the lottery, my one really stupid, frivolous purchase would be a 90s gold Honda CRV and then updating the interior to that of a new car.
