certificate of deposit | CDs (certificates of deposit) are bank, credit union or savings and loan instruments that allow the depositor to lock in an interest rate for a specific period of time (e.g. six months, one year, five years). If the money is withdrawn from the CD before the CD matures, there is likely to be an early_withdrawal penalty -- often three month's interest. Generally, the longer the time period of the CD, the higher the interest paid. |
| | individual retirement account | A tax_deferred retirement account for an individual that permits individuals to set aside up to $2,000 per year, with earnings tax_deferred until withdrawals begin at age 59 1/2 or later (or earlier, with a 10% penalty). Only those who do not participate in a pension plan at work or who do participate and meet certain income guidelines can make deductible contributions to an IRA. All others can make contributions to an IRA on a non_deductible basis. Such contributions qualify as a deduction against income earned in that year and interest accumulates tax_deferred until the funds are withdrawn. |
