$10,000 gift. Want to make it grow. I am 27 yrs.
OK my question is how I can make the most of the money I have. $ I have 10G and I would like to invest it for long term. The saving I have now they have cd raging from 3.75. For 6 months to 4.00 for up to 60 months. I mean I know that once I have it locked in a c.d. I will be locked in that one rate. On the other hand I am worried that if the interest rate happen to be increased, then I would end up losing money if I am leave it long term. I mean what the trend the rate? Does it have the tendency to fluctuate upward or downward? ( I mean I guess it depends on a lot of other factors) but would it be a mistake to invest it in a cd if I am getting 4% for 60 months? And how does the tax apply?? do I get tax from it?
