What wealthy people do that the average person doesn’t part 4. They don’t keep their cash in a bank account. Wealthy people ensure that their money is working for them. So instead, they save for the short-term by using savings vehicles that pay higher interest rates. Online high-yield savings accounts which we always hear about, or CDs which almost no one hears about. What is a CD? It’s a place to save money for a fixed period of time. While a regular bank account might pay you 0.01% in interest, CDs pay you a much higher rate. I prefer local community banks like Salem Five to large national banks because they can be just as competitive and even more flexible. Now, what about the downsides? You do need to keep your money in for the full term of the CD or you pay a penalty. Also, CD rates right now are not high enough to keep pace with inflation. However, CDs are one of the safest places right now to put your money and they are out earning almost all other savings accounts. Something to think about.
