Marielle:我建议大家关注储蓄账户的利率,并与通货膨胀率对比,因为通货膨胀会侵蚀储蓄的价值。即使我们认为储蓄是安全的,但实际上,由于通货膨胀,我们的钱正在慢慢贬值。因此,了解如何让我们的钱更好地为我们工作至关重要。 Arzu Rezvani:我经常与人们交流,发现很多人在年轻时开设储蓄账户后,就很少关注账户的利率。因此,我建议大家首先检查一下当前的储蓄账户,看看利率是多少。小型银行和在线银行通常提供更有竞争力的利率,因为它们的运营成本较低。当然,如果存款超过25万美元,最好分散到不同的银行以获得充分的保险。此外,定期存单(CD)和政府债券也是不错的选择,可以帮助我们更好地对抗通货膨胀。我建议大家根据自己的具体情况,选择合适的储蓄和投资方式,让我们的钱更好地为我们服务。
