Is $40k in HYSA enough, or should I save $50k-$60k instead?

      What are the savings for? The broad/general advice is to have an emergency fund of ~6 months of expenses that can stay in a HYSA. Beyond that, excess cash is just sitting on the sidelines when it could be invested. It depends on your goals and needs and what you’re planning for, but in general excess cash that doesn’t need to be spent in the near future should be invested for the long term.

        As much as you can. It’s a triple advantaged account.

          If you don’t need it in the next 5 years, invest it in the stock market…VTI in your case.

            Varies honestly but 6 months expenses would be ideal. Put rest in other investments.
