there doesn't seem to be anything to feel guilty about. Most people look at savings accounts / ISAs and go "what's the point of that?" when they offer 1% APR at best. The other options, mainly investment funds, are absolutely not for short term liquidity, and everything else looks like a scam.
As usual the apparent complexity is masking simplicity
