I’ve often written about how my husband and I are trying to plan for our retirement. We know how important it is to have enough savings of our own without relying on social security benefits, so we’re always checking for solid investments. We’re far too conservative to risk our money in the stock market, so we look to high yield savings accounts instead.
None of the financial institutions in our vicinity offer high-yield savings, so I frequently scour the Internet looking for the best rates. I’ve found a website called emoneycentral.com that lists some of the highest yielding accounts currently available, which is a great tool to have. Many of the accounts listed at emoneycentral.com provide an APY of more than 5.00% and have reasonable minimum deposits so I’m going to have to really sit down and evaluate them to find a couple of good ones to put some money into.
