Whether you’re saving for a future purchase or just looking to save more, Chad explains how savings rates are rising just about as fast as interest rates. For those who are able to save, this means they can put their money to work and earn higher dividends.

When it comes to interest, you’re either earning it or paying it. Chad talks about different types of certificate accounts that can help you save more as well as different strategies for managing these accounts to maximize your earnings!
