I use stocks as my savings 🥴 Out of sight - out of mind and compounds (an drops). I should just get a HYSA (high yield savings account). I just needed the cash honestly, your not suppose to do that your suppose to keep putting money into it but if your in a bind it’s a good way to get some emergency cash 🤷🏾♀️ I actually gained profit from the stocks I chose which were NVIDIA, EXON , AMZN and VANGUARD S&P 500 (which is literally for retirement) lol Check out the recommended stocks based on our current political climate - they are solid! I use ChatGPT and I’m also in several beginner stock & trading Facebook groups as I’ve also been keeping notes over the years from reels, YouTube vids ect Not a beginner but definitely need more cash inflow to invest more. Takes money to make money 💰
