I did actually open a roth a couple of years ago but I only made the initial max contribution and never did anything with it :-/ I got a little overwhelmed/intimated with that direct investing so have just avoided it. What do you mean by automate investing?

I have 6 months emergency funds set aside and another chunk of savings I was planning to put in a hysa. Any major difference between that and a money market fund? Thanks!!

I found a couple 14 or 18 month CDs for 5%. Will also be opening a HYS for the rest of my savings, should I put it all in one bucket instead? Don’t need the money for the foreseeable future, no big purchases or anything down the pipeline. Haven’t touched the money in the 5+ years I’ve had it (bad I know I could’ve been making money on it)
