Maximize Your Savings with High-Yield CDs: The Perfect Time to Invest

Opening a 2-year CD with a high interest rate, such as 5.25%, is a good option for those looking to earn passive income. CD rates are currently high due to the Federal Reserve's actions to combat inflation, but they may drop in the future. CD rates are fixed, meaning the rate you lock in at the beginning will remain the same throughout the term. While there are early withdrawal penalties, the risk is minimal as the principal is insured by the NCUA and FDIC. By depositing $15,000 into a 2-year CD with a 5.25% interest rate, you could earn over $1,600 in interest by the end of the term.
