<prompt> Human: I have been searching around here and I know that an emergency fund is of HUGE importance. I have about 1000 saved for such a fund but I dont know what to do with it. Is there somewhere better than a savings account to stash it? Some sort of investment account that doesnt penalize you for withdrawal? In my mattress? Thank you all so much in advance and I apologize if this has been asked before.  <response>: This is a friendly reminder to visit our FAQ entry on Emergency FundsYou might also benefit from this common topic: I have X, what should I do with it?Also, please visit our FAQ!I am a botrAutoModeratorcommentsq11puwhat_is_automoderator, and this action was performed automatically.
