<prompt> Human: Hello! Im trying to take small steps in adjusting my investmentsavings after recently getting a job that gives me a lot more money than Ive ever had before.The short of my question see title, is whats the best place to put 300 a week if I plan on using that savings as a downpayment on a house purchase in about 2 years?Currently Ive been putting it into a regular savings account, but I doubt this is the best use of the money.Also, if its ok to piggyback off my own post, Im also saving 40 per week per child I have a 1 year old and 3 year old, with baby number 3 on the way and putting it into a separate savings accounts 1 per child. This money wont be touched until they are at least 18 years old. This not necessarily a college fund grandparents are investing in that, they are awesome!, so its more of an extension to college fund or maybe a downpayment on a house in their future, etc. Whats a good place to invest that 40 a week per child?Thanks everyone! Im fairly ignorant here, and look forward to reading through anyall advice.  <response>: You dont. Put it in a high yield savings account.Investing with such a short horizon is riskier than you should be with that type of thing.I would also skip the 18 years of savings account thing. You are better off paying down your future mortgage with it and gifting the money from somewhere else later. Might as well save yourself tons of interest instead of having interest compound massively against you while you sit around with a cash hoard.
