Summary
Most people let too much cash sit in checking, where interest rates are near zero, instead of putting it to work. Financial experts recommend keeping enough to cover one to two months of essential expenses—like rent, groceries, utilities, insurance, and debt payments—as a buffer to avoid overdrafts and timing issues with bills. Anything beyond that cushion is generally better off in a high-yield savings account, which can earn around 4 % APY and significantly more interest than a typical checking account. By automating transfers of excess funds to savings, you keep your checking account lean while still earning meaningful returns.
