Money market/treasuries (even ETF like SGOV) gets pretty close to 5% when typical savings rate is a bit under

If treasuries “fail” we have a different class of problem.

There's still many high interest savings accounts that are at least 4%

???

30 Day SEC Yield as of Aug 24, 2026: 3.61%

12m Trailing Yield as of Aug 24, 2026: 3.74%

1.39% might not seem like a lot, but that's off by more than a quarter.
