Advice on where to save

[Happy Turtle]

Hey all!

I just graduated from college a couple months ago and started my first job. I'm very lucky to have a good bit of surplus income from this job. I'd like to save up to buy a house, maybe ~5 years from now.

My question - where's the best place for me to save a large amount of money for this relatively short term goal?

Thanks :)

I think a bank account would work just fine for this, at least for awhile. The trick is not to spend the money!
