For the past month, I’ve been checking out online websites of different banks to compare which bank gives the highest interest rates. When I was still single, I started out with BPI and when Jeff and I got married, we opened another account with BDO. Although we’re happy with both banks, it won’t hurt to look for other options that can give higher rates especially for a time deposit account. I’m eyeing the Perk Dollar Time Deposit of Asiatrust Bank which states that money can earn as much as 4.75% p.a. This is only a modest way to grow our money but at least, we get to save for our retirement early on. It may not be as high yielding as having a gold IRA, but as long as the money is safe, we’re gonna let it stay there for the meantime.
