Bank savings accounts, and that includes CD's and IRA's, are not an investment. They don't even keep up with rising prices or the devaluation of the dollar. Best I've seen even for an IRA in about two years is around 2.5%. Savings doesn't even make a full percentage point. Interest on a checking account is a joke, and not even a funny one... in the 1/100ths of a percentage point. Most pay between 6 and 25% interest on a credit card, the lucky ones at the lower end. But you can barely earn a small fraction of that on what YOU give to the bank. |
