One of the investment options with the lowest risk is a high yield savings account. High yield savings accounts are great if you’re saving up for something big or if you’re temporarily storing the cash you earned with your high-income skills.
Certificate of Deposits (CD) are closely related to the savings accounts but have higher interests. A CD requires an investor to commit to investing their money for a certain period ranging from one month to 10 years.
US savings bonds have one of the lowest investment risks. The US treasury issues the securities to fund the government’s operations. Saving bonds have a fixed rate of interest.
Money market accounts are closely related to savings accounts and CDs. They often have a better rate than the savings accounts but have more liquidity than CDs.
Municipal bonds are loans issued to local governments by investors. These are usually a good option for better returns with slightly higher risks than savings accounts, CDs, or saving bonds.
