    Congrats! I would say don’t sleep on the stock market, especially now since a dip/cliff is really the best time to invest to get a good return, but you shouldn’t touch it for at least a decade. Generally over a ten year period the market will give you a rate of return better than a HYSA but may be better or worse across short periods of time.

    If there is some kind of economic collapse that happens, it’s going to affect a lot more than the stock market. Even regular bank accounts will be affected and if your bank doesn’t shut down your US currency may be worth nothing. Especially if they get rid of the FDIC like Trump and Musk want.
