In this video, I go over how much passive income I was able to generate on my cash position in my Vanguard Government Money Market Fund, VMFXX.
Since the money is in a brokerage account, I was able to use it as collateral and sell cash secured puts to generate additional semi-passive income.
We also go over the settlement funds available in other brokerage accounts, such as Fidelity and Robinhood. Finally, we compare a Wealthfront Cash Savings account (a high yield savings account) with the Vanguard VMFXX.
