I'm getting an inheritance of $4000 next week.
I am buying a car (which I was before the money came about) with about $2500 of it and the rest I want to save.
I don't have any long term saving account currently. Right now I use my tfsa to save for the business that I am starting, and my normal bank account pays for my daily expenses.

What is a good way to put this away so I can start a long term savings? Another tfsa? Rrsp? Gic?

I'm engaged and my fiancee and I would like to open a joint savings account to use to work towards goals, such as a down payment or vacations etc. Not sure if we will use it for normal expenses like rent and food yet.

Any suggestions for good banks etc ? We are both with TD for our separate accounts.

Yes, this will be primarily for saving for goals, not everyday things. I think we will split that stuff like we currently do.
Vacations would be every few years probably, as we are not rich ( me, a musician/small business startup owner, and her, a supply teacher)

I will do some reading on Money Market Funds.
