⚠️ Where Seniors Should (and Should NOT) Keep Their Cash This September

On September 16, the Federal Reserve makes a rate decision that will move what your savings earn — and most seniors have their cash sitting in exactly the wrong place for it. In this video we walk through where your money should (and should not) be: why the average savings account is quietly losing to inflation, how to make sure every dollar is actually insured, and how to avoid the "safe" product a salesman may be pushing that can lock your money up for years. What we cover: The silent loss — why cash in a big-bank account earning almost nothing is falling behind inflation. High-yield savings — how insured accounts pay far more while keeping your money accessible. FDIC and NCUA insurance — the $250,000 rule, how joint accounts change it, and how to check your bank. CDs and laddering — locking a rate before the Fed moves, and the early-withdrawal catch. Money market accounts vs. money market funds — the difference that decides whether you're insured. Treasuries and I bonds — safe options with no $250,000 ceiling and a tax advantage. The annuity trap — what to ask before you sign anything.
