You agree to lock up your money for a set period, and in return, the bank pays you a higher interest rate. It&#8217;s a sweet deal if you know you won&#8217;t need the cash for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CDs typically range from 3 months to 5 years. The longer you commit, the higher the interest rate you&#8217;ll generally get. It&#8217;s like the bank is saying, &#8220;Thanks for not touching your money for so long. Here&#8217;s a little extra for your trouble.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But here&#8217;s a pro tip: Consider creating a CD ladder. Instead of putting all your money into one long-term CD, split it into multiple CDs with staggered maturity dates. This way, you get some of the higher rates from longer-term CDs while still having portions of your money becoming available at regular intervals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just remember, CDs are not as flexible as savings accounts. If you break into that CD before it matures, you&#8217;ll likely face a penalty. So only use this for money you&#8217;re sure you won&#8217;t need until the CD term is up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pros:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher interest rates than savings accounts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FDIC insured\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fixed rates<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can help resist the temptation to spend (impulse buyers, I&#8217;m looking at you)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cons:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Money is locked up for the term\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early withdrawal penalties\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If interest rates rise, you&#8217;re stuck with your lower rate<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building your wealth doesn&#8217;t have to be complicated.

(Technically, bonds are longer-term investments of ten-plus years, whereas certificates of deposits, or CDs, involve lending money to a bank. Because they\u2019re very similar, let\u2019s just call them both bonds to simplify things.) If you buy a one-year bond, it\u2019s the same as if the bank says, \u201cHey, if you lend us $100, we\u2019ll give you $103 back a year from now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advantages of bonds are that you can choose the term, or length of time, you want the loan to last (two years, five years, ten years, and so on), and you know exactly how much you\u2019ll get when they \u201cmature\u201d or pay out. Also, bonds, especially government bonds, are generally stable and let you decrease the risk in your portfolio. See, the only way you\u2019d lose money on a government bond is if the government defaulted on its loans\u2014and it doesn\u2019t do that. If it runs low on money, it just prints more of it. Now that\u2019s gangsta.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But because bonds are such a safe, low-risk investment, the return\u2014even on a highly rated bond\u2014is much lower than it would be on an excellent stock. Investing in bonds also renders your money illiquid, meaning it\u2019s locked away and inaccessible for a set period of time. Technically, you can withdraw early, but you\u2019ll face severe penalties, so it\u2019s a bad idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pros:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Predictable returns (you know exactly how much you&#8217;ll get at maturity)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flexible terms (can choose length of investment)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally stable, especially government bonds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can help decrease overall portfolio risk<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Government bonds are extremely low-risk<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cons:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower returns compared to stocks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Money is illiquid (locked away for the term)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Severe penalties for early withdrawal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Returns may not keep pace with inflation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower potential for capital appreciation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to learn about personal finance is to read books.

If you&#8217;ve maxed out your other short-term options and have some extra cash, a Roth IRA can be a sneaky-good short-term savings vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why? Because you can withdraw your contributions (not earnings) at any time without penalty. So if you don&#8217;t end up needing the money, great! It&#8217;ll keep growing tax-free for retirement. If you do need it, you can take out what you put in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my book &#8220;I Will Teach You to Be Rich,&#8221; I explain that opening a Roth IRA is Rung 3 on my Ladder of Personal Finance. Here&#8217;s why it works for short-term savings too:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flexibility: Unlike traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs let you withdraw contributions anytime, tax and penalty-free.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tax advantages: If you leave the money alone, it grows tax-free. That&#8217;s future you doing a happy dance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investment options: You&#8217;re not limited to low-yield savings.
