Greeting All. I was juuuust starting to peruse the FW Finance forums and really seeing the value in it, when Boom!, you know what happened. Thanks for providing this alternative.

I’d like to ask your all’s advice. I would like to establish and maintain an emergency account at ~$3000, with a “High APY Liquid Account” seeming to best fit the bill. Ideally, the money would just sit there, but if something came up like a broken washer and dryer, the account would fund that, then I’d top it back to $3000 as funds permitted. Non-ideally, it would be part of a job loss cushion. [My wife has an account with Edward Jones, but I’m lukewarm on that institution]. Can anyone advise how to go about finding the best account for my purposes? Thanks for helping this novice out…

Thanks, @mikk1 . Yes, that list is basically what I’m looking for. I take it the best way to determine which one is most suitable is just click on the ones that look most interesting and read up? As I was looking through some FW posts on the subject, I saw a wide variety of ways people used MM accounts, whereas I had assumed there was one basic purpose–simply to have liquid access to a lightly used account that gets a little more return than regular checking and the like. But I infer from your pointing me to the list that it’s not an especially complicated matter. Now I’ll take the time to look more closely. Many thanks for the convenience of the list!
