What would be the best investment vehicle after all tax advantage accounts and post tax investments have been made in the stock market/Indexs.

For instance, where would you put $100k+ extra based on today's interest rates? Currently used Fidelity and am in Money market at 4.47% .

Our state does not have income tax but our federal tax bracket is very high 35%

Recently saw this on floating note ETFs. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/11prp0b/_/

Any suggestions?

Schedule a meeting with a fee-only CFP and discuss.

I would still invest any cash beyond short term needs/wants in equities.

I've considered doing that but I think I'm also saving up for a new house and have a few other big items coming up so just wanted to park cash somewhere for a little bit.

Understood and we don't have state tax. However, I'm trying to think about better vehicles for federal tax if there are any

The classic answer is municipal bonds, preferably through a diversified mutual fund or ETF. A municipal money market mutual fund would work best as a cash equivalent. Since your state does not have an income tax, you can choose a nationally-diversified fund rather than one focused on a specific state.

You'll want to run the numbers to see whether the (typically lower) returns on the municipal fund give a higher after-tax yield than paying federal taxes on other options. But I imagine a 35% federal rate is high enough that you'll benefit from a municipal bond fund.
