Today I checked CD rates and found one month CDs paying 1% that compares to my brokerage and bank savings accounts paying 0.1%. So I am switching our cash funds to the short term (one to three month) CDs.
Yes, I know I can get 1.2 to 1.3% from online savings accounts. For simplicity, I don't want to open another savings account at a different institution. So my second best option is just to invest in CDs, which mature in a short time so that the cash always available.
I never thought I would be excited about getting 1% interest on my short term savings.
