What is the smartest place to put my savings to make sure it at least retains its value over time, but is somewhat accessible within a week of needing it? Also, how do I put it there?

Every time I see a post asking "What do I do with my $xx,xxx?", someone mentions Vanguard Index S&P500 or something, but nobody ever explains how to do this. Can I just do it quickly and easily on the Robinhood app? Where should I invest my money? I just want to not have it sitting in my virtual mattress of a bank (0.10% = "HIGH YIELD") apparently these days.

​

What do I do with my savings and how do I do it? Priorities are rate of return and decent liquidity.
