Topics
Bridget: 我和Ryan讨论了储蓄账户的运作方式以及银行支付利息的原因。我们解释了银行如何通过放贷赚取利润,以及复利如何帮助储蓄增长。我们还讨论了选择银行和开设账户的步骤。 Ryan: 我同意Bridget的观点。此外,我还想补充一点,选择储蓄账户时,需要考虑银行的利率、FDIC保险以及账户的类型。开设账户需要身份证明文件和监护人的陪同。 Perry: 我想知道我的钱是如何在储蓄账户中增长的。 Cooper: 我想知道为什么银行会付钱让你把钱存在他们那里。 Peppy Penny: 银行支付利息是为了鼓励储蓄,因为银行会将存款贷出,赚取利息。银行通过放贷赚取利润,而放贷的资金来自于储户的存款。利息是借贷资金的成本,储户将钱存入银行相当于贷款给银行,因此银行支付利息给储户。银行支付的利息取决于存款金额和银行的利率。联邦存款保险公司(FDIC)为储户的存款提供保险,以保障储户的资金安全。 Yosa: 我解释了72法则,它可以帮助你计算你的钱翻倍需要多长时间。 Ava: 我分享了我选择银行和开设账户的经验,包括考虑银行的类型、位置、利率、儿童账户以及最低存款额等因素。开设银行账户需要身份证明文件,并且可能需要监护人陪同。开设账户后,需要定期检查账户余额和利息。 supporting_evidences Cooper: 'My question is, why do banks pay you to keep your money there?' Bridget: 'One of the cool things about savings accounts is that the bank will pay you interest for keeping your money with them.' Ryan: 'We're trying to answer some questions from listeners who basically want to know, why are you paying people to bank with you? Yeah, he means interest. Why would this bank or any bank pay people to save money? Like, how does the math work on that?' Peppy Penny: 'See, it all comes down to this. The bank wants you to be a good saver and is trying to give you reasons to grow your savings. Because when you deposit your hard-earned savings at Big Top Bank, your cash doesn't just sit in the vault in a little box with your name on it.' Peppy Penny: 'Just think of interest as the price for borrowing money. And when you're lending your money to the bank by keeping it in your savings account, you get to be the one that's paid the interest.' Yosa: 'So rule 72 is something that helps you calculate how long it will take you to double your money.' Ava: 'I went with a traditional bank, which is convenient because it has a location right near my house.' Ava: 'And one last thing, you will need identification to open an account. So maybe your birth certificate or your social security card. And you're probably going to need your grown-up to go with you.'
