Middle-Class Investing 105: Start with Savings & Interest

Our money wants to set us free, help us retire early, and save for future generations. However, for it to do those things, we must trust it with someone else.

That's right; we need to turn our money over to the banks or the US government to earn a yield on our savings.

Now is the perfect time to save in high-yield savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and Series "i' bonds. But be warned.

We will not always see 3-6% interest on these savings vehicles. This is just your first step into the world of compound interest. There are many more levels to go. Good Luck!
