Money Storage

Last post was about how to simply manage your money, this post is going to touch on where you should store your money. If you haven’t found out yet, saving your money at a bank only gives you a return of 0.01%.

That means you get ten pennies for every $1,000.00 you save. That’s ridiculous, but don’t worry there’s better ways that are just as safe and give you higher returns. In this post I’m going to share a few that I was able to try.

HIGH YIELD ACCOUNTS

If your not into risky investing you can still get a good return on your money, while keeping your money at the bank. For instance, synchrony offers you 0.55% for storing your money with them.

I believe the best high yield account out right now since the pandemic is Brinks. Brinks is offering 5% for storing your money with them.

BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS

You don’t have to buy stocks to make money, some brokerage accounts give you interest for storing your money with them.

If you have under $10,000 TD Ameritrade will give 1.25% for storing your money with them in a brokerage account, this interest rate might vary.

BITCOIN SAVINGS ACCOUNT

The last way I recommended storing money, is with Bitcoin savings account. For this account you have to own a type of crypto currency that the account accepts, and have an up to date digit wallet for storing the coin.

Nexo has one of the bitcoin savings account available for you, and they offer you anywhere from 8% to 12% for storing your bitcoin with them.

WHY I WON’T HOLD CRYPTO YET…

There are plenty of cases of people getting rich off of crypto currencies but still there is no research available for people to get rich with crypto on purpose. However there are articles out to educate you and keep you up to speed on crypto, but those articles do not explain the dramatic price fluctuations that crypto has. Is crypto a good investment? Well not for me and I’ll tell you why.

First of all lets start this post off by explaining crypto currencies. Crypto currencies are just like trading on the foreign exchange market, when it comes to contrasting foreign currencies and crypto currencies the only thing different with crypto is that it is not backed by anything just yet. Unlike foreign currencies which are normal backed by a government, banks, or goods and services.

NO BACKING

So my number one reason why I wont hold crypto is because there is nothing supporting the currency just yet.

EXTREME FLUCTUATIONS

Also when it comes to crypto currencies there can be major fluctuations in the pricing, on December 7, 2017 bitcoin was being traded at $15,268.98 finishing the year off with a 3,500 percent return. However the for the next year on December 6, 2018 bitcoin was trading at $3,530.06 that is a $11,738.92 loss, which is a 2,600 percent loss.

NOT ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE

Lastly crypto currencies are still fairly new which means there is a lot of risk when dealing with these trades and unlike stocks there is barley anyone who can give you advice on trading crypto currencies. There is simply not enough knowledge on crypto currencies yet.
