A little
about you

A few quick questions so Thryvest gives advice that actually fits — and stays quiet on things that don't apply.

If yes, Thryvest won't pester you about credit card debt.
Pick anything that fits — Thryvest will prioritize advice around these.
Helps tailor concentration and diversification advice if you have investments.
Step 4 of 7

Set your
safety buffer

The minimum balance we always leave in your checking. We never move money below this. Ever.

A common starting point is $2,500. Adjust anytime — once you connect accounts, we can refine this.
$2,500
Always protected in checking
$500 — Lean$10,000 — Very conservative
Higher earners and those with larger fixed expenses typically keep $3,000–$5,000. You can change this anytime in settings.

Step 5 of 7

Set your
savings goal

An emergency fund covers essentials if your income stops. How many months of expenses do you want to keep saved?

We’ll personalize the dollar amounts after you connect your accounts. For now, pick the cushion that feels right.
Why this matters: 1–3 months is what most people target. 6+ months is conservative — great for variable income or single earners. Once you're past your target, Thryvest will help you decide whether to invest the excess for higher returns.
