Someone told me that I should have put my savings into Vanguard so that I would beat inflation, not lose to it while I save for a house.

The Vanguard S&P 500 (VOO) has returned 13.94% over the last 2 years. Navy Federal paid me $29.22 in interest in that time.

Simple math indicates I would have made another $1,600, which is a little weird since I have less than $8,000 in that account, but that is after paying off $12,200 in debt.
