In your checking account you should have little more in your account than is necessary to pay your monthly expenses. You should also get overdraft loan protection so you won't bounce any check and have to pay a large fee plus the humiliation of having a bad check. Also with most checking accounts you can request a debit card for use in automated teller machines.

Now you need to put an amount of money able to sustain you for three months in a liquid savings account. The two types of regular checking accounts are Passbook Savings Account and Statement Savings Account. You are able to get your money at any time and to avoid paying a monthly fee you must maintain a minimum amount in your statement savings account at all times.

If you have more assets you want to allocate, yet keep them fairly liquid you may decide to keep your money in the bank in a Money Market Savings Account, also known as a Money Market Deposit Account. Your money in a Money Market Account pays a higher rate of interest than does the Passbook or Statement Savings Account, and are insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation , or by NCUSIF if in a Credit Union. For even higher interest you can invest in Money Market Mutual Funds, however they are not insured .

A really safe way to invest large amounts of money at nice rates of return are by purchasing Certificates of Deposit. They come in amounts up to $10,000 and they mature anywhere from six months to five years. So if you manage prudent asset allocation in variety of forms, a small amount of money in the bank becomes a large amount of money in the bank.
