The hardest part of budgeting isnโt making the plan, itโs sticking to it ๐
But what if you could ensure you donโt spend your savings? ๐
Time to meet CDs ๐ฟ
They play music, but in the financial world, they keep your savings locked away โณ
CDs are like time capsules for your money! ๐ฐ
๐กCD stands for certificate of deposit
You put a fixed amount of money into a CD for a specific period of time, and you canโt take it out until that time passes โฐ
๐กA term is the time you agree to leave your money in a CD.
Terms can be short or long! ๐
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% โก
Okay, but what if you really need the money? ๐จ
You can take the funds out, but you usually pay a fee ๐
So, if you have money you wonโt need for a while, a CD can be a great option ๐ช
There are also plenty of different CD types with different terms from as little as 7 months to a long 10 years! ๐
So you still have some flexibility when it comes to saving your money ๐ฆ
Now you know that a CD is like a safe where your money grows over time. ๐ช
Use your savings power wisely! ๐ง
