Savings Expert Identifies Top 5 Reasons Why Certificates of Deposit Still Work
Go Banking Rates savings expert, Jennifer Calonia, highlights the leading five benefits of saving money using certificates of deposit, especially as household budgets feel the financial crunch into 2013.
EL SEGUNDO, CA, November 19, 2012 – Go Banking Rates continues to support certificate of deposit products as a reliable and steady way to reach savings goals for any individual’s financial circumstance.
Jennifer Calonia, Go Banking Rates financial expert, walks depositors through the five main benefits that a certificate of deposit brings, including minimizing impulsive spending.
“It may seem like locking savings into a deposit account is a bad idea,” says Ms. Calonia, “However, with so many Americans still struggling to get a starter reserve savings fund up and going, keeping money in a hands-off account like a CD poses a huge benefit to depositors who lack self-control.”
In addition to ensuring depositors commit funds toward their savings goal, Ms. Calonia explains how laddering CDs and reducing risk are key advantages of a certificate of deposit.
