    If I want to have some cash in a liquid account for unexpected emergencies, what is best? A savings account or another type?

    It's always a good idea to keep some money set aside in a liquid form, but it's a double-edged sword, because the more liquid your money, the less it's earning. If you never have an emergency, then you can miss out on the chance for substantial earnings by keeping that money in a simple savings account.
