Here's the hard truth: with inflation at 4.20%, your money is losing value unless it's in an account that earns at least a rate that keeps pace with inflation. And right now, many savings accounts, including high-yield savings accounts and CDs, are not outpacing inflation.

The fix? It starts with three simple steps:

✅ Audit your current APY

✅ Give your savings a clear purpose and goal

✅ Know when to shift from saving to investing or paying down debt
