I guess having some money save into these traditional banks isn’t bad. Like if you actually need actual cash. But for me I truly don’t have a need for cash anymore for my everyday expenses. #hysa #banks #selfgrowth #investing #apy

So I'm here at Wells Fargo, exchanging some money for my upcoming trip to Mexico. And I'm just looking at them and I'm just like, there's actually like no benefit of having your money safe in there. The APY is trash. The CDs are decent. Savings accounts are booty cheeks. It's okay for older people to have it, their money there. But if you're a younger person that, you know, has some money, save in these banks, you gotta move it. You gotta move it out of it as soon as possible. You gotta either put in a high yield savings account that's gonna give you a decent APY, not this 0.001%. And I was getting that for a long time. And I was just, you know, I was just disappointed. So, what I'm trying to say is that these banks are good for maybe exchanging your money to pesos or any currency you want. But other than that, I can't really think of the benefit of a traditional bank account anymore.
