So, we've decided to move most of our emergency fund money. It's currently sitting in an online savings account (not very high interest, but not as low as our credit union either).
We've got $30k in there and I'm thinking we can lower that since we nearly always have quite a bit sitting in our other credit union savings accounts (car and travel savings) as well as have Roth IRA money to draw from or plenty of home equity (looking at applying for a HELOC to keep at zero balance).
I'm considering either doing a sort of 401k 'swap', where I increase our 401k to max it out for the rest of this year and then use any of the emergency fund to make up for income we might need. Or instead, move it to a vanguard or fidelity account (mutual fund?) so if we did need or want it, we could get at it.
Any other ideas?
What would you do? (other than keeping it in the current savings account) Thanks!
