In this video we'll discuss: What is a CD (Certificate of Deposit), how interest earned in savings accounts used to outpace inflation!, what is a CD ladder, how to build a cd ladder, and whether a cd ladder in 2020 is still a good option for your money.

We've been in a low interest rate environment for many years now. With falling interest rates, earning interest on your short term savings becomes difficult. A high yield savings account vs a cd ladder is one of the options for a savings strategy that will earn the most interest. A high yield savings account is completely liquid, while a certificate of deposit only lets you access accrued interest before the maturity date. Both CDs and high yield savings accounts are FDIC insured to $250k. And the interest earned both on a cd ladder and a high yield savings account is 100% passive income.

The 10 year treasury yield is commonly used as the "risk free rate" and the current interest on a 5 year cd is almost double this rate with NO risk for balances less than 250,000! This makes a certificate of deposit a decent option for short term savings yields. And if you build a cd ladder you can protect yourself from changes in interest rates and inflation by always having a set amount of principal reaching maturity at the intervals you choose.

A high yield savings account is the best place for your emergency fund and 6-12 months of savings. But if you have cash beyond this you want to keep safe buying a certificate of deposit or building a cd ladder is a great option.
