Money that is invested in an interest bearing account such as a savings account or certificate of deposit earns interest. The rate at which interest is paid varies, but it will be a small percentage of the balance in the account. Rates may be either variable or fixed.
Certificates of Deposit: Another option to high interest savings is certificate of deposits. There are CDs with term as short as 3 months and as long as 10 years. Generally, longer term CDs pay more than savings, but require long-term commitment.
