1 Savings Chapter 13

2 Financial Goals Short Range: can be reached in less than a year. Ex- may want to buy a new swimsuit, or concert tickets. Mid Range: These goals require more money and take one to five years to achieve. Ex- Buying a big screen TV, down payment on a car, college education. Long Range: financial goals involving large sums of money and requiring more than 5 years to complete. Ex- down payment on a house.

3 Savings Accounts Ideal tool for reaching short-range goals. Used to accumulate a large sum of money to invest for mid and long-range goals. Money earns interest: money the bank pays you for leaving your deposit in a savings account.

4 Types of Savings Accounts Regular Savings Account Money Market Savings Accounts Certificates of Deposit U.S. Savings Bonds

5 Regular Savings Account Savings account with fixed interest rate and unrestricted deposits and withdrawals Passbook Accounts: saver records all account activity. Statement Accounts: bank sends monthly report detailing the activity.

6 Money Market Savings Accounts Withdrawals Limited to 3 withdrawals a month. Penalty involves the loss of all interest for that month Interest Complex interest rate structure Varies according to balance Require minimum balance in order to pay any interest at all. Savings account w/ a variable interest rate, restricted withdrawals, and a required minimum balance

7 Certificates of Deposit Issued to the saver when the account is opened. Must deposit a minimum amount (approx. $2,500) Earn a higher rate of interest than regular savings accounts. Interest is paid on a CD only if it is held to maturity (The end of the period you agree to invest your money). Flexible CD- allows one or more withdrawals during the term without penalty.

8 U.S. Savings Bonds An investment vehicle that can be purchased at a discount and held until maturity. Very useful for saving to reach mid-range financial goals. Backed by the U.S. Treasury Excellent security for savings dollars. Sold at 50% discount off face value Meaning, buy a $50 savings bond for $25.

11 Earnings To get highest return on your savings, look for: Interest rate Minimum balance requirements for opening account or for earning interest Any fees you will have to pay Truth-in-Savings Law make sit easier to comparison- shop for a savings account Requires financial institutions to tell you the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) which indicates the actual return on a $100 deposit left for one year.

12 Liquidity Refers to the accessibility of your money, how quickly and easily you can get cash from your account. The higher the liquidity, the lower the interest rate paid on the account.
