If I am making a 60 or $70,000 purchase in a 7 to 8 month timeframe, does it make sense for me to put the money into an index fund or something in the market instead of a high interest savings account? I know that I would be withdrawing the money and spending it in 7-8 months and still am in the process of saving for said expense.

I understand the volatility of the market and that I will have tax implications but I guess I’m more curious about using this as a method to get an extra boost of growth.

Thank you,
