    my high yield savings account, where i keep my catastrophic home repair/job loss money, is crushing it at 0.5%, which is making it rain about $5 a month on me.

    if i save that up for 3 months, i could get a combo meal at Burger King and have enough cash left over for a couple of cans of beans.

    all from this passive income game. pretty cool stuff.

      Passive income is when you fail to keep up with inflation slightly less badly than just keeping your money in cash.
