If you don't mind my asking.....why so high? Do you have unpredictable expenses or lack a monthly budget?

Since I'm higher than Motorboat I'll answer your question.
Because a savings account or a CD is not worth the gas to drive to the bank. The interest rates are .000000000001%.
I have no debt to pay off. I've got stocks out of the wazoo and I'm not buying more till the communist leaves the White House.

Not much but some money markey accounts are .5%. And you can still manage it online and write checks from it. That's $110/ year lying around. Very little, but something.
