Peace of Mind
 Peace of mind comes from knowing that when
needs arise, you will have adequate money to
pay for them.
 The amount of money you save depends on:
 The amount of your discretionary or disposable
income
 The importance you attach to savings
 Your anticipated needs and wants
 Your willpower to give up present spending to
provide for the future

How Money Grows
 The amount of money you deposit into a
savings account is called the principal.
 For the use of your money, the financial
institution pays you money called interest.
 Interest represents earnings on principal.
 As principal and interest grow, more interest
accumulates.
 This is known as compound interest, or interest
paid on the original principal plus accumulated
interest.

Annual Percentage Yield (APY)
Annual percentage yield (APY) is the
actual interest rate an account pays,
stated on a yearly basis with
compounding included.
Because all financial institutions must
calculate APY the same way, you can
use APY to easily compare the yields on
different accounts.

Compounding Interest Annually
 The Year 1 ending balance is the Year 2 beginning
balance.
 The Year 2 ending balance is the Year 3 beginning
balance.
 The 6% interest rate stays the same, but the interest
earned increases each year.

Regular Savings Account
A regular savings account has a major
advantage—high liquidity.
Liquidity is a measure of how quickly you
can get your cash without loss of value.
A regular savings account is said to be very
liquid because you can withdraw your
money at any time without penalty.
The tradeoff for high liquidity, however, is
a lower interest rate.

Certificate of Deposit
 A certificate of deposit (CD), or time deposit,
is a deposit that earns a fixed interest rate for a
specified length of time.
 A CD requires a minimum deposit.
 You must leave the money in the CD for the full
time period.
 If you take out any of your money early, you will pay
an early withdrawal penalty.
 A CD has a set maturity date, which is the date on
which an investment becomes due for payment.

Money Market Account
 A money market account is a type of savings
account that offers a more competitive interest
rate than a regular savings account.
 There are two different kinds of money market
accounts:
 Money market deposit account
 Money market fund
 On average, money market funds will pay a
higher interest rate than money market deposit
accounts.

Liquidity

Chapter 6
Safety
 Safety of principal means that you are
guaranteed not to lose your savings deposit,
even if the bank or other financial institution
fails and goes out of business.
 Most financial institutions are insured by a
government agency, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or National
Credit Union Association (NCUA).
 Deposits in banks, no matter what type, are
almost always safer than investments in the
stock market.

Interest-Earning Potential (Yield)
Your goal is to earn as much interest as
you can, while maintaining the liquidity,
safety, and convenience you want.
Usually, the more liquid your deposit, the
less interest it will earn.
Shop around for the best APY in your
area.

Saving Regularly

financial goals.

savings can grow into a substantial sum.
 Pay yourself first through direct deposits,
automatic deductions, and payroll savings
plans.

Direct Deposit
 With direct deposit, your net pay is deposited
electronically into your bank account.
 You receive a nonnegotiable copy of your
check and stub, notifying you of the amount
deposited directly into your account.
 You can have your automatic deposit split
between accounts, with some going into
savings and some going into checking to cover
your bills.

Collecting Coins and Cash
Some people find it convenient to set
aside their spare change and money left
over each day or week.
Setting aside small amounts of change
each day will lead to large sums over
time.
It’s surprising how pennies can add up to
make dollars!
