where should i park my rainy-day / emergency fund?
user
something with an fdic guarentee, so a bank. with an emergency fund, i think the 'return of capital' is more important than the 'return on the capital', so i'm fine with putting it in a standard savings account in a local bank(not an internet account) even if it pays next to nothing. the beauty is that since the bank is local, you can walk in and withdraw it all during any weekday.
