I'd just put it in a safe, and work from home with guns by my side. Saves the extra 0.5%. Rest of my money is in equities anyways, so I really only need the "emergency savings" in cash.

(Obviously big businesses can't do this.)

With $100k emergency savings, 0.5% is $500 a year. Wouldn’t be worth it for me to stay home and alert 24/7.

Your average gun costs like $500 too.

what about the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?
