There’s also hardly any reward (comparatively speaking). Yields are crazy high right now on savings accounts, but they’re going to continue to drop, vs investing in the stock market (over the long term) is much more likely to maintain a much higher rate of return.

It seems some people in the comments of the post have said there are issues with their installations after upgrading to 2024.12.0. I might recommend waiting for .1 if you’re not too fussed about having the brand newest software.
