Where to keep it
- Goal needed within 1 year: high-yield savings account or money-market fund. Cash equivalents only.
- Goal 1-3 years out: mostly cash, optionally a small Treasury bill or CD ladder for the portion you won't need first.
- Goal 5+ years out: investments enter the conversation. The longer the horizon, the more comfortable stocks/bonds become, but always with full risk disclosure.
