Yahoo finance has an article from last week that talks about how to get a higher rate on your savings then you get from your local bank. Some interesting tidbits from the article are. The current average interest rate for banks is far below half a percentage point a year. There are online banks out there that will give you 1.40% interest rate. Thats the equivalent of getting 3 times as much interest on your money each month which will continue to compound while you sit on it.
They also suggest reward checking accounts and using a 5 year CD. but if your looking to store liquid cash who cares how much money you will make if you lock the money in for the next 5 years. That option doesn't make sense when you can invest that money in other ways over the next 5 years and make more then 2.37%
I cant seem to post the link to the article but it is called 4 safe ways to earn more tinterest
