Saving and investments
There are two important parts of our economy. One of these are Savings accounts, they're are very important because the risks are very low, although the return is low (Only .001%) You're still going to get a little bit of money in return. You also high liquidity. The big plus to a savings account is that you can keep your money in the account for an hour, a day, a year, or 10 years or even longer. Investments, there are many kind of investments you can make, one is a checking account. With a checking account the risk is very low, your liquidity is high, but your return is low, (.001%.) Another option for an investment is stock. Stock's risk are medium/ high because there is no guarantee that you'll get all of your money back, is any of it. The return is pretty high, (11%) and the liquidity is Medium as well. The third investment you could possibly choose to make is in a property, although the risk is high because there is no guarantee that you'll get all the money that you were looking for. The return is high (20%) And the is very low, because it might take awhile to get someone to want to invest on the property you're selling. The fourth investment I'll be talking about is in Art the risks are very high, although the return is one of the highest investments you can make. Only problem is that the liquidity is very low. Investments are important because they're a good way of making money, rather than saving your money under your mattress and keeping what you have you can go out and get more money with the money that you do have. Now that you know about savings and investments, which is the right choice for you?
