The hardest part of budgeting isn’t making the plan, it’s sticking to it 😔
But what if you could ensure you don’t spend your savings? 👀
Time to meet CDs 💿
They play music, but in the financial world, they keep your savings locked away ⏳
CDs are like time capsules for your money! 💰
💡CD stands for certificate of deposit
You put a fixed amount of money into a CD for a specific period of time, and you can’t take it out until that time passes ⏰
💡A term is the time you agree to leave your money in a CD.
Terms can be short or long! 📚
Why use a CD?
Well, they have high interest rates around 5% - a lot compared to traditional savings account rates of 0.01% to 0.03% ⚡
Okay, but what if you really need the money? 🚨
You can take the funds out, but you usually pay a fee 😔
So, if you have money you won’t need for a while, a CD can be a great option 💪
There are also plenty of different CD types with different terms from as little as 7 months to a long 10 years! 👀
So you still have some flexibility when it comes to saving your money 🏦
Now you know that a CD is like a safe where your money grows over time. 💪
Use your savings power wisely! 🧠
