Which is Better High Yield Savings Accounts or CDs?


Listen Later

Choosing between high-yield savings accounts and CDs is a big deal when it comes to planning your financial journey. 

It's a bit like deciding which road to take on a map—each has its own route, and you want to pick the one that gets you where you want to go most effectively.

In this episode, I'll break down the pros and cons of each option, empowering you to make the best decision.

We'll explore the difference between CDs (not the ones you play music on; we're talking certificates of deposit) and high-yield savings accounts. Are CDs making a comeback? Should you be using high-yield savings accounts instead? I've got all the answers right here for you!

Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all solution. It all depends on your specific financial goals and circumstances. But armed with the information we discuss in this episode, you can make an informed decision that best suits your needs.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS: 

  • Pros and cons of CDs and high-yield savings accounts
  • How to use a CD ladder for increased liquidity
  • The benefits of high-yield savings accounts for short-term needs
