Could someone explain to me like I am 8 years old, what is the yield on a Vanguard VMFXX account?

Let's say I deposit $60,000 to open the account. What's the yield on a 1 or 2 year period?

Over 1 year it would be ~5% at today’s yield.. they distribute monthly… so if you had $60k invested for all of the current month, you’d receive about $250 first of next
month.

60k x .05 /12 months. The yield is updated every Monday; doesn’t always change but has gone up almost every week for months.

Yup; one of the reasons regional banks are getting their asses kicked.

Compared to what? Better than say a savings account, but there are some different stipulations and pro's/con's around money market funds as compared to a savings account so they aren't the exact same.

ETA: And i'm assuming you're just looking for somewhere pretty safe to park money for a bit?

What if he deposited $84k instead, what would the monthly return be?

Yes, and...what if he deposited $84K, but held it for only 25 days. What would his 25 day return be?
