<prompt> Human: Hi rpersonalfinanceI currently have about 1500 saved up for an emergency fund specifically for payments on a car lease that Im about to take out for in case somehow my income is disrupted and I cannot make a payment with money coming in. This is enough for roughly 5 months. Note: I am set on leasing the car, dont bother trying to change my mindI was wondering what I could do with this money to earn interest on it instead of just throwing it in a bank account. Ive debated putting it into my Roth IRA as I could have cash in hand from it in roughly 6-7 days if needed without having to pay a penalty. Is this a good idea? Do you guys have any other suggestions?  <response>: It is an emergency fund. It goes in a savings account or other equally liquid investment.Also, be sure leasing a car is a smart choice for you before you spend money that way.
