Marielle Segarra: 我建议大家检查一下储蓄账户的利率,因为通货膨胀正在侵蚀储蓄的价值。虽然把钱放在储蓄账户里感觉很安全,但实际上它的价值在慢慢贬低。因此,我们需要寻找方法来保护我们的钱免受通货膨胀的影响。高利率的储蓄账户是存放应急储蓄的好地方,而定期存款和政府债券则适合长期储蓄。 Arzu Rezvani: 很多人开了储蓄账户后就再也没有关注过,导致他们的钱以非常低的利率存在银行里。实际上,小银行和在线银行通常提供更高的利率。此外,还有定期存款(CD)和政府债券等其他投资方式,可以帮助我们赚取更多的利息。但需要注意的是,超过25万美元的存款需要分散在不同的银行,以获得联邦存款保险公司(FDIC)的保障。无论收入多少,我们都应该了解不同的理财方式,让我们的钱更好地为我们工作。
