Tackling Money Anxiety: Why High-Yield Savings Accounts And Sinking Funds Are Game Changers For Young Adults
Editorial Note: We earn a commission from partner links on Forbes Advisor. Commissions do not affect our editors' opinions or evaluations. A new survey from Empower finds that Americans spend nearly four hours each day thinking about money. Gen-Z leads the pack, averaging 4.82 hours daily. Bills, debt and the fear of not making ends meet are a constant source of anxiety that affects many people's physical and mental health. The same Empower survey found that 36% of Americans lose sleep over their financial worries. As heavy as the mental load may be, a surprisingly simple tool can help you feel more in control: a high-yield savings account with separate sinking funds. Empower's poll shows that younger generations feel pressure from all sides. More than half of respondents—57%—report worrying about paying their bills, with rising costs, debt and housing expenses contributing to the stress. Gen-Z is the most likely to constantly check their bank accounts and feel emotionally drained by their financial situation. Many members of this generation are juggling soaring living costs and paying off student loans on entry-level pay. With student loan debt in the U.S. totaling $1.777 trillion, financial anxiety isn't just a passing thought—it's a daily weight they carry. If you've ever felt like your paycheck is completely gone in the blink of an eye, sinking funds might be a game-changer. A sinking fund refers to setting aside money for specific expenses in advance. Instead of saving one significant lump sum for emergencies, you break your savings into categories, such as a new car, next vacation, medical expenses or holiday gifts for the family. That way, you're not panicking when those costs arise—you've already planned for them. Now imagine those savings buckets actually earning you money while they sit. That's where a high-yield savings account (HYSA) comes in. Unlike a regular savings account, the best HYSAs offer higher interest rates, so your money quietly grows in the background. You can set up multiple sinking funds in one place, because let's be honest—after a full day of work, who has the energy to manage multiple banking apps and platforms? Just set the money aside and let it do the work for you. If you use a high-yield savings account to label or bucket your savings, you can manage all your sinking funds in one place while watching your monthly balances increase. This setup brings structure and peace of mind. Instead of spending hours each day focusing on 'what ifs,' you've created a small system that prepares you for anticipated and unanticipated expenses. To see how quickly your money can grow, let's say you open a HYSA with a 3.50% APY that compounds monthly. If you deposit $300 upfront and each month after, by the end of one year, you'd have $3,968.99, of which $68.99 comes from interest alone. That's almost $70 earned passively, just by letting your money sit and grow. To see how much interest you can earn with your HYSA's terms, use Forbes Advisor's savings calculator . When selecting an HYSA, shop around to find the best rate. You'll want to find an account that offers at least 3.00% APY, does not charge monthly maintenance fees and allows you to organize multiple sinking funds within your account. For example, the Capital One 360 Performance Savings Account™ currently offers a 3.50% APY. It also charges no maintenance fees, there is no minimum balance requirement to maintain your account and you can set up multiple accounts for different sinking funds. Open a high-yield savings account. Start by looking for an account with no monthly fees and a competitive APY. Many banks make it simple to open an account online without needing to visit a branch. List your goals. Consider recurring expenses like vet bills, holiday gifts or travel, and create a separate sinking fund for each. Set a monthly savings goal. Estimate the cost of each goal and divide it by the number of months until you'll need the money. Then, automate monthly transfers to your sinking funds accordingly. Track and adjust. Life changes, and your sinking funds should too. Revisit your setup every few months to tweak your categories or contributions. No savings system will eliminate all financial stress, but tools like sinking funds can lift a massive weight off your shoulders. For Gen-Z and anyone feeling constant financial pressure, having a HYSA broken into manageable pieces and earning interest while you sleep can bring emotional relief. If you spend hours a day thinking about money, you deserve a system that works just as hard as you do. And remember: Taking care of yourself matters more than the number in your bank account.

5 Unusual Side Hustles Take Over Familiar Ones, Hauling In More Money
In an era of economic uncertainty and rising living costs, Americans are doing whatever it takes for job flexibility and extra income, and side hustles have become the new normal, with 27% of U.S. adults juggling side gigs. As the side gig market gets more competitive and saturated, the old rules no longer apply. Unusual side hustles are gaining traction as hustlers, thinking outside the box, take them to extremes to stand out and make more money in a crowded market. Unusual Side Hustles Are Giving A Facelift To Stand Out At a time when the economy is in every headline, money issues are living rent-free in our heads, according to Empower. Americans are spending nearly four hours a day thinking about debt, inflation and rising prices, keeping one-third of the workforce up at night. No wonder workers are walking away from traditional jobs in favor of the flexibility of more flexible careers. Annie Rosencrans, director of people and culture at HiBob, told me that the American workforce is realizing their full-time jobs are not the only way to make money, and while finances are a factor, the shift runs deeper. "Having a side hustle doesn't mean someone is less committed," Rosencrans explains, adding that in many cases, it's the opposite. 'These employees are motivated and energized because they're doing something they care about. But it does point to a bigger shift in how people see work, security and what success really means—and that's something HR can't afford to overlook.' As the number of side hustles skyrocket, Jamie Wall, personal finance strategist at Gamblizard, explains what's driving the hype. Wall says more traditional hustles, like copy writing or selling handmade goods, are declining. And oversaturated markets and high competition are making it harder for side gigs to stand out. So side hustlers are raising the bar, elevating side hustle standards to the business equivalent of career startups. Andy Kurtzig, CEO of told me that Gen Z side hustlers are taking the same tools corporations use to eliminate jobs and flipping the script to create opportunities for themselves. "What used to take funding, mentorship and institutional access, they're now doing with a laptop and a chatbot.' America's Top 5 Unusual Side Hustles How far are side hustlers willing to go to stand out? A recent survey finds that 13% of Americans say they're willing to publicly embarrass themselves for $5,000 or less, while 46% would enter 'Squid Game' for a shot at $33 million (yes, the fictional one with a 99.8% death rate). Wall and the team at Gamblizard analyzed Google search data to explore bizarre-but-lucrative gig trends from the past quarter. Here are some of the weirdest but most lucrative side hustles. Pet monetization is exploding, according to Wall. Searches like 'make money on a pet' are up 131% in just the last month. People are looking for ways to turn pet expenses into something closer to an investment, and viral pet accounts can pull in anywhere from $250 to $2,000 per sponsored post. 'It seems fun, and yes, sometimes profitable," Wall says. 'However, turning your funny pup into an influencer isn't any simpler than building any other kind of content brand. You'll need a clear niche, a plan and at least some baseline marketing know-how if you want to stand out." Wall suggests that you not aim for 'Jiffpom-level fame' but that a smaller, well-positioned audience can still lead to commercial gigs, photo shoots or local sponsorship. According to Wall, one of the oldest side hustles is seeing new life, thanks to TikTok testimonials and Reddit threads about 'getting paid to shop.' He points out that brands hire independent contractors paid to evaluate businesses' customer service, cleanliness and other aspects of their operations. Typically, he states they earn $10–$25 per task, with freebies (meals and products) and that higher-end gigs like hotel stays pay more. 'It's a good fit for detail-oriented people. But the space has scams," Wall cautions. 'Stick with MSPA-certified companies. Before signing up, search the company name plus 'review' or 'scan' to see what others say. Never agree to deposit a check to buy gift cards and send the numbers back. To make a gig more profitable, combine it with cashback apps or receipt scanning for layered passive income.' What used to be a TikTok punchline is now a serious income stream for some side hustlers. He says platforms make it easy to start, and anonymity lowers the barrier. And some report $100–$500/month, equal to as much as $6,000 per year. 'Is it legit?" he asks, answering that it is, but a lot of people don't realize this kind of income is taxable. 'If you're getting paid through platforms or direct transfers, you're basically running a small business, and the IRS expects you to report it,' he points out. "There's also the risk of scams, charge backs or not getting paid at all. And if you're under 18 or using someone else's identity, you could run into legal trouble. So if you go this route, treat it like a real business: protect yourself, know the tax rules and think long-term, not just quick cash.' Wall says there's growing demand for paid companionship through services like RentAFriend or local apps where people book plus-ones for events, social outings even just conversation. And rates range from $30 to $100 per hour, depending on the request. 'If you're naturally social, good at conversation and firm about boundaries, it can be a worthwhile gig. Just treat it like any freelance job: screen your clients, clarify expectations early and don't be afraid to say no," he insists. "To make it safe, stick with the platforms that screen users and offer clear terms, start with public meetups and trust your gut. If anything feels off, it probably is.' If you're already skilled at growing an audience, Wall believes you can build a niche page (travel, memes or fitness) and sell it once it hits a solid follower count. He mentions that some creators flip accounts for anywhere from $100 to over $10,000. 'However, these transactions sit in a grey area of Instagram's Terms of Service, which technically prohibit buying and selling accounts," he warns. "Scams are also common: fake buyers, charge backs or payments that vanish.' He recommends a better path: offer account-building as a service. He suggests that you use those same skills to grow pages for small businesses, influencers and nonprofits. "If your page format is distinct (curated memes, a signature carousel style or a specific tone), you can also license that structure and sell templates, posting schedule and strategy. It's lower risk. And potentially more scalable.' Unusual side hustles are gaining traction because they seem simple, but the simplicity of low barrier to entry and no formal skills required can be misleading, Wall emphasizes, adding that behind 'easy' unusual side hustles is work you don't see or a risk you don't expect. 'So, don't confuse accessibility with sustainability. And keep in mind—there's no such thing as free money,' he concludes. 'You're either putting in time and effort, or you're taking on risk, whether you realize it or not.'
