Most people park their money in a regular savings account earning pennies. But the wealthy? They play smarter. Here’s how:
🔑 Step 1: Open a High-Yield Savings Account (HYSA)
- A HYSA earns you much higher interest than a regular savings account.
- Instead of 0.01% at a traditional bank, you could be earning 3%–5% or more (depending on the bank).
This means your money is working for you while it sits.
🔑 Step 2: Build a Solid Balance
- Consistently deposit into your HYSA.
- The more you have saved, the more interest you’ll earn.
Think of it as building your financial leverage tool.
🔑 Step 3: Borrow Against It with a Line of Credit
- Here’s the millionaire move: Instead of pulling your money out, you can borrow against your savings using a secured line of credit from the bank.
- Your savings act as collateral.
- You still keep earning interest while borrowing at a lower rate.
It gives you quick access to cash for investments, business, or emergencies, without depleting your savings.
Why This Works
- Keeps your money growing while you borrow.
- Protects your savings habits (you’re not draining the account).
- Gives you access to cheap funding to leverage for bigger moves.
Don’t just save, leverage. A HYSA + line of credit combo lets you grow your money AND access it strategically. That’s how you start thinking like the wealthy.
