High-yield savings accounts have become very popular. With many boasting interest rates over 5% — far greater than the average savings account interest rate — there's no question why they're on so many people's minds. My first high-yield savings account was with AllyWhen I started my savings journey, I opened my Ally high-yield savings account after reading articles that compared different banks and seeing that name come up often. I use the savings account for longer-term savings (right now, an upcoming extended time off from work) and the checking account for shorter-term goals, like buying a new iPad. Using high-yield savings accounts with high interest rates helped, allowing me to get a small bonus deposit each month.

CNBC's Jim Cramer said he sees success ahead for fast-food chain Chipotle, even though its stock got clobbered and dropped nearly 10% on Thursday.
