30 day certificate of deposit

Short term Cd's can be nice, and one of the reasons you would get a 30 day certificate of deposit would be because it will enable you to spend just a smaller amount of money and be able to afford less time to make a profit. That way your money is not all tied up where you are unable to access it. Now if I were investing in a 30 day certificate of deposit I would make sure that I have the money to actually do this. It is never wise to invest money you may need at a later time.

Let me explain a little further about how investing in something longer than a 30 day certificate of deposit could hurt you. Lets say that the interest of return for this one or these particular cd rates were going to be high. If you invested money you were needing at a later point in time it could be detrimental, especially if you have bills coming up. At that point you would lose more than you were making because you would have to get a credit cards to pay them off.

With this in mind you do not want to invest money in a long term cd if you do not have the ability to back up whatever may come your way monetarily with the means. It is always best to make sure and calculate the cost so that you have all that you need for your investments.
