<prompt> Human: Thanks to an unexpected, awesome promotion at my husbands work, we are not on track to finish stocking up on the last third of a 6-month emergency fund by the end of the year. Question is, where should we keep such a thing? Our banks savings account interest is more than pathetic. Should I just look for the highest-yield savings account available? Or is there another low-risk option that keeps things liquid enough?  <response>: Congratulations!Keep it in a savings account, whether online or with your bank. Keep in mind the purpose of this money is not to earn interest but to give you peace of mind.
