How are you saving and investing your cash suitable now? And what are you undertaking with current investments (such as I-bonds) that are earning much less than they had been a year or two ago?

As Investopedia notes, the new composite price is 4.28% is not negative — but it surely is not the 10% from current months.

For my $.02, we have possibly as well a lot in index funds at this point in our lives (85%+, perhaps 90%+), and we usually have as well a lot in higher-yield savings accounts (HYSAs), so I’ve been attempting to diversify a bit with CDs and yes, some investments in 30-year treasury bonds. Our HYSAs are earning 4%, which is about what you can locate in CDs now – but simply because HYSAs may perhaps adjust at any point I’m nonetheless placing cash back into CDs when they come due.

We are not moving cash out of the 30-year I-bonds simply because (offered our lay of the land) the prices are not that negative, and the sums are not as well massive a percentage… but just about every 6 months when there’s a new price announced I’m attempting to recall to monitor it, ha.

(We use Ally, Vanguard, and Schwab mainly, but extra out of habit than something. I locate it easiest to do CDs in Ally as an alternative of via my other on line brokers – that way if they come due and I’m not paying consideration, the cash is not going to a settlement fund earning a low interest price.)

Readers, how about you? How are you saving and investing your cash suitable now? And what are you undertaking with current investments (such as I-bonds) that are earning much less than they had been a year or two ago?
