Main Body

Prices for things are going up now. Normal savings accounts pay very little money. CD accounts are better because they pay more money.

目前的物價正在上漲。一般儲蓄帳戶的利息非常低。定期存款帳戶較為理想,因為利息較高。

If you have a small amount of money, like $800, use a short CD. A 3-month CD gives you about $7. A 6-month CD gives you about $16.

如果您只有少量資金,例如 800 美元,請選擇短期定期存款。3 個月的定期存款約可獲利 7 美元。6 個月的定期存款約可獲利 16 美元。

If you have a lot of money, like $40,000, use a long CD. You can make more money over many years. But you cannot take the money out early or you pay a fine. Use the internet to find the best bank.

如果您擁有大量資金,例如 40,000 美元,請選擇長期定期存款。這樣您可以在多年後賺到更多錢。但您不能提前提取資金,否則需支付罰金。請利用網路尋找最合適的銀行。

Conclusion

CD accounts are safe. They give you a fixed rate of money based on your time and your total money.

定期存款非常安全。它們會根據您的存款期限與總金額,提供固定的利率。
