Main Body
Normal bank accounts pay very little money. High-yield accounts pay more. For example, you can get 4% interest. If you have $12,000, you can make about $492 in one year.
一般銀行帳戶的利息非常低。高利殖帳戶的收益較高。例如，您可以獲得 4% 的利率。如果您有 12,000 美元，一年大約可以賺到 492 美元。
CDs are another good choice. You put your money in a CD for a short time. The interest rate does not change. This is safe when the economy is bad.
定存 (CDs) 是另一個不錯的選擇。您將資金存入定存帳戶一段短時間，利率不會變動。當經濟環境不佳時，這樣做較為安全。
If you put $100,000 in a 3-month CD, you can make about $973. The government protects your money up to $250,000. Your money is safe in these accounts.
如果您將 100,000 美元存入 3 個月的定存，大約可以賺到 973 美元。政府提供最高 250,000 美元的存款保障。您的資金在這些帳戶中是非常安全的。
