Everyone knows that interest rates have been extremely low for over 3-4 years. It's part of the the Federal Reserve Banks plan to "help the economy". Even with the slight increase in interest rate in the past week or so it is still almost impossible to earn a decent yet safe rate of return on our
money.
Did you know that it is possible to obtain a 6% guaranteed interest rate on a 96 month financial product. There are minimum purchase amounts of $40,000 - 60,000 with a maximumum of approximately $250,000. These are not liquid but you do receive monthly payments including but some return of principal and interest. Payments are level throughout the 8 year term. The interest rate is guaranteed at time of issue and payment of the contract. There is also a high degree of safety with this type of contract. This is what I would consider a Safe Money product with no stock market risk. They are compatible with a ROTH or Traditional IRA or can be used with non qualified money as well.
I think it is good to know that a reasonable Bank alternative is available today. Why would anyone want to put that amount of money in a bank anyway?
