💰 How much cash should I keep?
Keeping funds in cash is personal—you may need it for a downpayment on a house, a new car, or building up an emergency fund.
However, having too much cash comes with a big opportunity cost. Consider this—keeping $10,000 in cash rather than investing it could result in nearly $10,000 of missed gains over 10 years and over $66,000 over 30 years, assuming historical average stock market returns of 7%/year.
