Edit: update I decided on a CD. I may do an index fund in the future. This was a short commitment and easy to understand. Thanks everybody.

    Depends on your risk tolerance.

    A 4% savings account is “safe” but might not keep up with inflation.

    An index fund might be “good”, but the value can go down.

        The average inflation rate for the last 20 years is under 3%

        Edit: why are people downvoting me, refute my statement with a source instead of downvoting because you wish inflation was higher
