Hi, Natalie.

How are you?

Hi, thank you for taking my call today.

Sure.

What's up?

My question is, my husband and I have been savings for a house for almost six years.

Our plan we thought would be three to five years, but then COVID happened and everything

is inflation, and we still aren't in a position where we can afford a house.

And so my question is we have money saved, and I'm not sure what we should do with it because it's just

sitting in the bank. How much do you have saved? We have about 90,000 and my goal is by the end

of the summer, we'll have 100. That's awesome. So can you just drop it in a high yield savings account,

like one of those online ones?

I mean, the rates are pretty decent right now.

So how, like, how long would you suggest? I guess you just... The high-yield savings accounts don't have a time on them.

Uh-uh. You can just drop it in there and kind of set it, just forget about it.

And when you're ready to use

that money, you can pull it out. There's no stipulation on pulling the money out. Oh, okay.

The, uh, uh, I'm a little curious. What's your household income? So we have like a very unique

situation. We live in LA County.
