Short Term Investments by Maia Monell
Your savings time-frame matters HUGELY when it comes to investing. So what should you invest in?
Certificates of deposit (CDs): Banks often allow depositors to invest their cash for a specific length of time in a special deposit account called a certificate of deposit. CDs have a variety of terms ranging from three months to five years (Psst! You’ll earn a higher rate the longer you’re willing to lock up your money).
The downside to these is that once you choose a deposit term, you are required to keep your money in the account or pay a steep fee for early withdrawal—kind of like a 401(k).
