money I
0:09
know Hi guys I hope you're well I just
0:13
wanted to have a little chat with you
0:15
about something that's important but
0:16
it's not always easy to talk about It
0:19
sounds boring but trust me it's
0:21
something we all need to learn about
0:23
Whether you're starting to build your
0:25
life or you're in the middle of it all
0:27
taking small steps now can help you set
0:30
up for big things in the future So let's
0:32
talk about opening a certificate of
0:34
deposit or a CD and why it would be one
0:38
of the best choices for you right
0:41
now I know I know Before you roll your
0:44
eyes let me say this Saving money isn't
0:46
the same as stashing it under the
0:48
mattress or letting it sit around in a
0:50
checking account with a zero interest
0:52
rate What I'm talking about is taking
0:55
your hard-earned money and making it
0:56
work for you You know make it grow but
1:01
safely without taking too much risk
1:03
That's where a certificate of deposit
1:05
comes in
1:08
Now a certificate of deposit is like a
1:09
fancy way of saying "Hey I'm going to
1:11
put money into a special savings account
1:13
and leave it there for a little while
1:15
and in return I'll earn interest." It's
1:18
like getting paid just for being patient
1:21
That's what a CD is
1:23
like And you're probably thinking "Why
1:26
would I do
1:27
that?" Now I want to make a little
1:32
money I want to make a lot of money not
1:34
just a little money But here's the thing
1:36
When you're just starting out you want
1:38
to keep things simple and safe And a CD
1:41
can help with that It's not a
1:43
get-richquick scheme but it's steady And
1:45
sometimes steady is exactly what you
1:49
need Now let's talk about why a
1:51
certificate of deposit could be so
1:53
important for you at this age and why
1:55
it's actually the perfect time to get
1:58
started The first reason it's low risk
2:02
baby you're young which is amazing
2:04
because you have time on your side but
2:07
also you want to be cautious A CD is one
2:10
of the safest investments you can make
2:13
because it's insured by the government
2:15
That means that your money is protected
2:17
up to
2:19
$250,000 so you don't have to worry
2:21
about losing it Now while other
2:24
investments like stocks might seem
2:25
exciting they also come with some risks
2:28
A CD is a nice secure option and we all
2:31
need a little security in our lives
2:33
especially when we're starting
2:34
out Your father and I were going to help
2:37
you with things but these are good
2:39
habits that it's good to start with
2:41
Now so low risk on a CD that's a very
2:45
good thing Now the second reason that a
2:49
CD is a good option is that it helps you
2:51
build healthy
2:53
habits Now I know you want to live in
2:55
the moment Trust me I've been there But
2:57
taking time to save now even just a
3:00
little sets you up for success later If
3:04
you start putting money in a CD you're
3:06
getting into the habit of saving
3:08
consistently It teaches you patience
3:11
discipline and how to make your money
3:12
work for you And believe me it feels
3:15
really good when you look at that
3:17
account and you see your money growing
3:19
just because you're smart enough to
3:21
invest in it early Yep Trust me baby
3:25
It's going to feel great
3:29
The third thing is you have guaranteed
3:32
returns with a CD When you open a CD you
3:36
know exactly what to expect It's like
3:38
getting a steady paycheck for your
3:40
savings The bank gives you a fixed
3:42
interest rate so you know how much
3:44
you're going to earn That's one less
3:46
thing to worry about in life And at your
3:48
age peace of mind is golden
3:53
The fourth reason is flexibility for
3:57
future goals I know what you think I
4:00
don't need to think about my future
4:01
right now but one day you'll want a
4:04
house or maybe you want to start a
4:05
business or even travel the
4:07
world You might want to buy a car A CD
4:11
can help you save up for those things
4:13
And it can give you a little nest egg
4:15
that grows over time And here's the best
4:18
part If you open a CD you can choose the
4:21
length of time you want to lock in your
4:23
money Whether it's six months a year or
4:26
even five years you can pick what works
4:29
best for your goals
4:33
If you know you want to buy a car and
4:35
you have $5,000 that you can put in a CD
4:38
now the dividends that you'll earn on
4:42
$5,000 in a year's time you could use
4:46
that $5,000 and put that as a down
4:48
payment on a car And then the dividends
4:50
that you've earned over that time you
4:53
could put into a new CD
4:55
So see that money is sitting there but
4:57
it's allowing you to use it at a later
5:00
time or in a way that that best works
5:02
for
5:04
you So baby trust me it's a win-win Okay
5:08
So I know I appreciate you listening to
5:10
me I just have a few more things to
5:12
share with
5:13
you but the best time to start is now
5:17
Right now interest rates are a bit
5:19
higher than they've been in recent years
5:21
What that means to you is that you can
5:23
earn a better return on your money if
5:25
you start investing in a CD today The
5:28
longer you wait the more you might miss
5:30
out on higher returns Think of it like
5:33
planting a tree You want to do it sooner
5:36
rather than later so it can grow tall
5:38
and strong And when you're young even
5:42
small amounts of interest can make a big
5:44
difference over
5:47
time Okay baby I know this all sounds
5:50
like a lot but trust me starting small
5:53
now even if it's just a few hundred
5:55
dollars can make such a big difference
5:57
later on A CD isn't going to make you a
6:00
millionaire overnight but it's a simple
6:03
safe and smart way to start investing in
6:05
your
6:07
future And don't worry about the details
6:09
I'll help you find the right one All you
6:12
need to do is decide how much you want
6:14
to invest pick the right time frame and
6:17

6:21

6:31
surprises And while it's important to
