Options for storing your savings

Here are some common ways you can store your savings, along with a few general benefits and risks of the different options.

As you review each option, consider how safe your money would be, what it costs to store your money in this way, and how easily you can get your money when you need it (known as liquidity).

Savings option Benefits Risks

Certificate of deposit (CD)

A savings tool from a bank or credit union that has a fixed maturity date and a fixed interest rate

§ May offer higher rate of interest than a savings or money market deposit account

§ Designed to hold the funds for three to 12 months or longer

§ May offer higher interest rates for higher deposits or longer terms

§ You can usually have your paycheck automatically deposited in your account — this is called “direct deposit”

§ Often requires a minimum deposit

§ Can’t access your money without penalty until the CD matures

§ May have fees

 Checking account

An account at a bank (sometimes called a share draft account at a credit union) that allows you to make deposits, pay bills, and make withdrawals

Some banks and credit unions offer special accounts, for example, a student checking account

§ Use ATM (automated teller machine) card, debit card, or write checks to access or spend your money

§ The bank or credit union provides a record of your transactions — monitoring this information helps you manage your money

§ Almost all deposits are insured for up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). This means that if your bank or credit union fails or goes out of business, the federal government will cover any loss of your deposits up to $250,000.

§ May have overdraft fees if you spend more than what’s in your account

§ May pay fees to withdraw money from ATM (usually free to use bank’s or credit union’s ATMs)

There is no physical coin or bill unless you use a service that allows you to cash in cryptocurrency for a physical token. You usually exchange cryptocurrency with someone online, with your phone or computer, without using an intermediary like a bank. Cryptocurrency accounts are not backed by a government. Cryptocurrency values change constantly.

Federally insured account at a bank or credit union that offers a higher rate of interest than a savings account, allows for a limited number of transactions monthly, and may require a minimum deposit or minimum account balance.

Prepaid card

A card on which you load money in advance to spend. While a prepaid card might look like a debit or credit card, there are differences. A debit card is linked to your checking account. When you use a credit card, you’re borrowing money. A prepaid card is not linked to a checking account or credit union share draft account. In most cases, you can’t spend more money than you have already loaded onto your prepaid card.

(NOTE: A payroll card is a type of prepaid card you get from your employer that you receive your paycheck on. Employers can’t require you to receive your pay on a payroll card. They have to offer you at least one other method of payment.)

§ Often pays higher interest rate for bigger balances in account

§ May be tempting to spend your cash

§ May not have same features or protections as a bank account for theft or errors (review the card’s policies)

Questions and Answers about Series I Savings Bonds

GENERAL

Question: What is the Series I bond?

Answer: The Series I bond is an accrual type savings bond tied to inflation. The bond is issued at face value with a 30-year final maturity a 20-year original maturity period immediately followed by a 10-year extended maturity period.

Question: How are Series I bond earnings determined?

Answer: The earnings rate, which also is called the composite rate, can change every six months. It is made up of a fixed rate and an inflation rate. The fixed rate stays the same for the life of the bond. The inflation rate can change every six months from the issue date of the bond. When the inflation rate changes, the earnings rate does too.

Question: When can a Series I bond be cashed (redeemed)?

Answer: Series I bonds with issue dates prior to February 2003 became eligible for redemption six months from the issue date. Bonds with issue dates of February 2003 and later are eligible for redemption one year from the issue date. However, if a bond is cashed within the first five years after its issue date, interest earned during the three months prior to cashing will be forfeited. Once a Series I bond is five years old, there is no interest penalty for redemption.

Question: Can you determine what the value of a Series I bond will be in future years?

Answer: No. Although a Series I bond’s fixed rate remains the same throughout the bond’s life, the semiannual inflation rate can vary. You can count on a Series I bond to hold its value; that is, the bond’s redemption value will not decline.

Question: What is the inflation rate?

Answer: The inflation rate is the percent change in the CPI-U over a six-month period ending prior to May 1 and November 1 of each year. For example, the earnings rate announced on May 1 reflects an inflation rate from the previous October through March.

Question: Will the value of a Series I bond decrease during periods of deflation, when the CPI-U declines?

Answer: No. In periods of deflation, the bond’s redemption value won’t decline.

Question: What are some tax advantages of the Series I bond?

Answer: Earnings are exempt from both state and local income taxes and federal income taxes can be deferred until redemption, final maturity (30 years after issue date), or other taxable disposition, whichever occurs first.

Question: How long will my Series I bond earn interest?

Answer: I bonds earn interest for up to 30 years.

Question: Is there a tax advantage for Series I bonds used for college tuition?

Answer: Yes. If you qualify, you can exclude all or part of the interest on I bonds from income as long as the proceeds are used to pay for tuition and fees at eligible post-secondary educational institutions.

PURCHASING

Question:

Answer:

How can I purchase I bonds?

You can buy I bonds in electronic form, at face value, after you open a TreasuryDirect® account. Purchase prices start at $25, and you can buy in any amount above that up to $10,000 per person, per calendar year.

You also can buy an I bond in paper form, through the Tax Time Purchase Program. Use IRS Form 8888, “Allocation of Refund (Including Savings Bonds Purchases).” Purchase prices start at $50 and you can buy in $50 multiples up to $5,000 per person, per calendar year. After buying, if you have a remaining balance due to you on your tax return, you can choose to have remaining funds delivered to you by direct deposit or by check. IRS Form 8888 provides detailed instructions explaining how to request bond purchases. More information can be found at https://www.treasurydirect.gov/savingsbonds/buy-a-bond/#buying-paper

Treasury discontinued over-the-counter sales of paper I bonds in December 2011.

NOTES:

• Purchase limits for electronic and paper bonds are separate, meaning you can buy up to $15,000 in I bonds per year ($10,000 electronic and $5,000 paper).

• Adding or naming a coowner doesn’t allow you to buy bonds above the annual limits.

Question: If an individual purchases the maximum allowable amount of Series I bonds in one calendar year, does this affect the annual limit for that individual’s Series EE savings bond purchases that same year?

Answer: No, an individual may purchase the maximum amount in Series I bonds and purchase the maximum amount in Series EE bonds during the same calendar year.

Question: What registrations are available for Series I bonds you sell today?

Answer: This depends on whether they are electronic or paper. In either case, they may have registrations in the names of individuals. Electronic I bonds also may have registrations in the names of entities

Registrations for electronic I bonds: sole owner, primary owner with secondary owner, beneficiary, guardianship estate (for example, “John Doe, guardian of the estate of Mary Doe, a minor”), personal trust estate (for example, “First National Bank, trustee under agreement with John Doe, dated 01/02/98”), testamentary trust estate (for example, “Jerry Green, trustee under the will of Jane Green, deceased”), deceased owner’s administered estate (for example, “Joe Bond executor under the will of Jane Bond deceased”), corporation, Limited Liability Company (LLC), Professional Limited Liability Company (PLLC), sole proprietorship, and partnership

Registrations for paper I bonds: single owner, coowner, and beneficiary.

REDEMPTION AND REISSUE

Question: How can I determine the current value of a Series I bond?

Answer: If you hold the bond in TreasuryDirect, you can see the value there: log in, click the “Current Holdings” tab, choose a series, and click “Submit ” Otherwise, you can check the value in the Savings Bond Calculator at https://www.treasurydirect.gov/BC/SBCPrice

Question: When are earnings added to a Series I bond’s value?

Answer: Interest accumulates and is added to the value of the bond on the first of each month based on the current earnings rate. Compounding of interest is done on a semiannual basis.

Question: Can you remove the name of a living coowner or beneficiary from a Series I bond’s registration without the consent of that coowner or beneficiary?

Answer: The name of a living coowner can't be removed from a Series I bond’s registration in a reissue transaction, regardless of that coowner’s willingness to consent, unless the reissue is an electronic reissue in TreasuryDirect or ordered or approved by a court in a divorce settlement. A beneficiary’s name can be removed at the request of the owner of the bond without the beneficiary’s knowledge or consent

Question: Can paper Series I bonds be reissued?

Answer: Yes, they can be reissued, but only into a TreasuryDirect account. In TreasuryDirect, the bond will be electronic, not paper. The registration on the bond must be one that’s available for electronic bonds (Above, see “What registrations are available for Series I bonds?”)

Question: How do you calculate the interest rate of a Series I bond?

Answer: I bond interest rates have two parts:  A fixed rate that lasts for 30 years  An inflation rate that changes every six months

I bond fixed rates are determined each May 1 and November 1. Each fixed rate applies to all I bonds issued in the six months following the rate determination. The semiannual inflation rate is determined each May 1 and November 1. It is the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) over six months. Each semiannual inflation rate applies to all outstanding I bonds for six months.

We combine fixed rates and semiannual inflation rates to determine composite earnings rates. An I bond’s composite earnings rate can change every six months after its issue date. Here’s how we set the first composite rate for I bonds issued November 2005 – April 2006:

Fixed rate = 1.00%

Semiannual inflation rate = 2.85%

Composite rate = [Fixed rate + (2 x Semiannual inflation rate) + (Fixed rate x Semiannual inflation rate)]

Composite rate = [0.0100 + (2 x 0.0285) + (0.0100 x 0.0285)]

Composite rate = [0.0100 + 0.057 + 0.000285]

Composite rate = [0.067285]

Composite rate = 0.0673

Composite rate = 6.73%

How to Build a Professional Student LinkedIn Profile

Think of your LinkedIn profile as an interactive business card. It’s a summary of your professional experience, interests, and capabilities that is designed to attract the attention of important people who are searching for you online — recruiters, networking contacts, and grad school admissions officers. A strong profile is a key differentiator in the job market. So let’s get started...

1. Craft an informative profile headline

Your profile headline gives people a short, memorable way to understand who you are in a professional context. Think of the headline as the slogan for your professional brand, such as “Student, National University” or “Recent honors grad seeking marketing position.” Check out the profiles of students and recent alums you admire for ideas and inspiration.

2. Display an appropriate photo

Remember that LinkedIn is not Facebook or MySpace. If you choose to post a photograph — and we recommend that you do — select a professional, high-quality headshot of you alone. Party photos, cartoon avatars, and cute pics of your puppy don’t fit in the professional environment of LinkedIn.

3. Show off your education

Be sure to include information about all institutions you’ve attended. Include your major and minor if you have one, as well as highlights of your activities. It’s also appropriate to include study abroad programs and summer institutes. Don’t be shy — your LinkedIn profile is an appropriate place to show off your strong GPA and any honors or awards you’ve won.

4. Develop a professional summary statement

Your summary statement should resemble the first few paragraphs of your best-written cover letter — concise and confident about your goals and qualifications. Remember to include relevant internships, volunteer work, and extra curriculars. Present your summary statement in short blocks of text for easy reading. Bullet points are great, too.

5. Fill your “Specialties” section with keywords

“Specialties” is the place to include key words and phrases that a recruiter or hiring manager might type into a search engine to find a person like you. The best place to find relevant keywords is in the job listings that appeal to you and the LinkedIn profiles of people who currently hold the kinds of positions you want.

6. Update your status weekly

A great way to stay on other people’s radar screens and enhance your professional image is to update your status at least once a week. Tell people about events you’re attending, major projects you’ve completed, professional books you’re reading, or any other news that you would tell someone at a networking reception or on a quick catch-up phone call.

7. Show your connectedness with LinkedIn Group badges

Joining Groups and displaying the group badges on your profile are the perfect ways to fill out the professionalism of your profile and show your desire to connect to people with whom you have something in common. Most students start by joining their university’s LinkedIn group as well as the larger industry groups related to the career they want to pursue.

8. Collect diverse recommendations

Nothing builds credibility like third-party endorsements. The most impressive LinkedIn profiles have at least one recommendation associated with each position a person has held. Think about soliciting recommendations from professors, internship coordinators and colleagues, employers, and professional mentors.

9. Claim your unique LinkedIn URL

To increase the professional results that appear when people type your name into a search engine, set your LinkedIn profile to “public” and claim a unique URL for your profile (for example: www.linkedin.com/in/yourname). This also makes it easier to include your LinkedIn URL in your email signature, which is a great way to demonstrate your professionalism.

10. Share your work

A final way to enhance your LinkedIn profile is to add examples of your writing, design work, or other accomplishments by displaying URLs or adding LinkedIn Applications. By including URLs, you can direct people to your website, blog, or Twitter feed. Through Applications, you can share a PowerPoint or store a downloadable version of your resume.

Employer’s Address

I am writing to express my interest in the Career Advisor position with Employment Solutions, Inc. that is currently posted your website. I have been seeking an opportunity to work for your organization for quite some time and am excited about the possibility of serving in this position. I have seen firsthand the impact of ESI’s emphasis on assisting community members with their employment searches and would enjoy contributing my career counseling and teaching skills to this position.

My interest in career counseling began in high school when I volunteered for the Cumberland County Schools job fairs as an administrative assistant. While in college at UNC Pembroke, I further explored my passion for serving as a Hawk Assistant at my university career center. During my final semester, I even served as a Hawk Assistant Leader. In this position, I was able to fine tune my skills in programming and marketing while working under tight deadlines.

In addition to my experience with UNC Pembroke, I completed an internship at the NC Department of Commerce. The opportunity to connect my personal passion for providing tools and information for employment seeking individuals allowed my work to shine. I worked on more than 60 job applicant caseloads, and facilitated several workshops on career decisions and networking. This internship required me to work closely with the workforce solutions team on a daily basis, which allowed me to advance my verbal communication, teamwork, and attention to detail skills

I am confident that my professional experience and educational background would serve me well as Career Advisor for Employment Solutions, Inc. It would be my pleasure to work with the ESI staff at such a wellrespected organization. I look forward to the opportunity to interview with you to allow us to further discuss my qualifications for the position. If you have any questions or would like me to provide any additional information, please feel free to contact me at (555) 555-5555 or jane.jones@email.com

Thank you for your time in considering my resume.

Sincerely, Jane Jones

TRADEFIRST.COM ENCOURAGES JOB SEEKERS TO FOLLOW THEIR VISION

It is vital to have a vision for what you desire in your career, says Fred Detwiler, founder/owner of TradeFirst.com. “A clear and inspired vision will help you to move forward in your job search and other areas of your life,” said Fred, whose 44-year-old company is located in Oak Park, Michigan. A recent article by Indeed.com similarly reports that as a job seeker, you can better find the right job when you are focused and create a target list of companies and positions that you want.

Fred himself had a vision years ago, to create an organization that leveraged the concept of alternate currency, decades before cryptocurrencies! So, in 1978, Fred formed a very atypical company, which has helped many thousands of businesses through the use of professional trade dollars instead of cash to pay for products and services.

As you are seeking your first or next job in your career, Fred wants to encourage you to consider and honor your own goals and dreams and to move forward with a career and a life that inspire you!

Through the years, Fred and his dedicated team have created a TradeFirst community that has grown to more than 5000 Michigan businesses! This is the power of an idea, so be sure to make your ideas happen! His vision has allowed member businesses in Michigan to buy and sell products and services from each other without spending cash, by using a private internal currency, the trade dollar. Think of it like if you want to pay for an online app or buy a sub or sandwich, or perhaps shoes from a local shop. As a business, you could save your cash and use trade dollars instead! During the pandemic, thousands of Michigan businesses were helped by using trade. And, in the U.S., about 500,000 businesses use barter exchanges to get new sales, more business, and conserve cash for essential expenses. So, in your career goals, know that you can consider your own out-of-the-box career ideas and pursue your vision, as anything is possible!
