Part of managing your money is taking calculated risks to help your money work for you. That means, whether you like it or not, you're going to have to take on some risk. With a federal funds rate around 5%, consumers have found the relatively risk-free return of high-yield savings accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs) to be a safe option.
But that safety comes with a ceiling on growth. Plus, with interest rates likely to come down in the next 12 to 18 months, those risk-free returns will start getting smaller and smaller. And there's no guarantee that they will keep up with inflation.
