Interest Rates Will Make You Little This Year
Searching for high yield money market accounts this year is pretty much a waste of time. Since all rates are so low, it will be very hard to find much difference between any account rates. This is probably not going to change any time soon either as the economy is showing no signs of improvement.
It is difficult for anyone to make much money from interest in this economic environment. The phrase “time is money” doesn’t apply much anymore because no matter how long you are willing to loan your money to a bank, you will not get much in return. People who are used to having interest income from their investments have not been doing well for quite some time.
Looking for the highest interest rates in your town or city will probably not lead you to the best in the country. For that you have to use the Internet to find banks and institutions that are having promotions and thereby giving the highest rates. Fortunately, you can send money to many banks you will find online and that gives you the ability to find the better rates than you will find locally.
The stock market has done poorly and depleted many people’s life savings and retirement accounts. Because of this they may have wanted to put what is left in a safer investment vehicle but anything that is truly safe earns close to only 1%. This is not much different than no interest at all and leaves one with few options.
Most people don’t care about the best money market rates because they have no money. If you don’t have any money to invest, you won’t care about any kind of interest rates or whether the stock market goes up or down. It is too bad that so many people are in this situation. They have never saved and were counting on the government to pay for their retirement. Now the economy is bad, people are in debt, and jobs are being lost. The last thing people care about is what interest rates are because they have no money. Hopefully, the country will learn a big lesson from this economic hardship and learn that you must always save for a rainy day.
