better way to invest money than CD or money market?

I’m a 35yo single male, I own my own home and I have about 000 in a money market paying 4.65 apy. Also i have two CD’s each for 00 5.35% apy for nine months. My mortage is 6.74% apr ( I owe k, purchased house at k two years ago). I also have about k in a retirement mutual fund which I have calculated has paid a disappointing 5 % over the last 7 yrs. My question is this. These investments (cd’s and money markets) are super safe because of FDIC. And I like a sure thing even though I’ve heard often that when your younger u should have more risk in your portfolio than when u r older. Are there investments that would pay slighty more and be slightly more risky but not too risky. Perhaps municipal bonds? I also like the liquidity of CD’s and money market accounts so I wouldn’t want to give up all that much liquidity.

Is a money market account like a savings account only with higher interest?

Because me and my gf have been trying to save up money for the future. I know banks provide less than 1%apy. Some money market accounts offer over 5% APY. This is a much better rate. What is the difference and what are your feelings towards the two accounts?

Does opening several online money market accounts affect your credit?

I have a couple money market accounts already and just recently opened up a 3rd money market account. Then I got an offer today for a higher interest rate elsewhere. Does opening and having numerous of these savings accounts affect your credit?

What is the difference between a savings account and a money market account?

I want to open a savings account separate from my checking account to earn a higher interest rate. I keep reading about "money market accounts." What is the different between a savings account and a money market account? What are the advantages/disadvantages to having either one? Thank you!
By the way, I do plan on meeting with a banker as soon as the holidays slow down to better discuss my options.
I just wanted to see if anyone could offer any quick info or help on here in the meantime! :)
