Your money, working harder
Four levers that compound
Each good decision builds on the last — a better rate on your cash, staying invested, shopping your mortgage, spending on the right card. Alone, each is real money. Stacked, they change the picture.
The national average savings account pays about 0.4% — and less once checking balances are counted. Move that same cash to a high-yield account and it earns over 3%.
The market has averaged roughly 11% a year. Time in market beats timing the market. Our analyst highly recommends getting your investing footing with diversified ETFs or a reputable Robotrading account. Missing just the 10 biggest up days in the market since 1996 and you forfeit 56% of the total gains — staying invested is the whole game.
On a $400,000 mortgage, every 0.1% on your rate is about $10,000 in extra interest over the life of the loan. The average borrower saves around half a percentage point just by shopping lenders.
A savvy spender pulls more than 7× the value out of every dollar with the right categories and point transfers. The average redemption is worth just 0.75×.
