This. So many people's lives are inherently political and opting out is a privilege.

What small tiny app have you found that not many people know about in c/[email protected]

ShareWaste. You can sign up that you have a compost pile or chicken to feed, etc, and people with food scraps can find places to "donate" to! I have 3 or 4 regular contributers to my compost pile!

Some others have said, but it really matters how old you are and what your goals are. But as a general rule of thumb...

money for bills and monthly expenses can stay in a low-interest checking (or savings) account. Keep only as much as you need for a month, maybe a bit as a cushion just in case
money you're planning on spending in the next 1-5 years in a high yield savings account (you'll make higher interest) to use as "sinking funds" or an emergency fund (3-9 months worth of monthly expenses, give or take)
invest the rest
