The Quickest Way To Double Your Money

The Quickest Way to Double Your Money By Elton Camp With interest rates staying so low On savings, there’s little dough It seems the Fed will keep it that way Until the economy sees a better day On CDs we once got five percent Down the drain that return went Retirement plans it badly upset Less than one percent we now get If an alternate investment you choose, Even the principal you well may lose So until interest rates finally rise again There’s only one way that we can win Spending habits we are forced to adjust In this economy, it has become a must To double money, Will Rogers did recommend Fold it over and return it to your pocket again

It's an observation based on personnal experience. We enjoyed the 5% days with the nice monthly check it brought to supplement other income. It was "free" money that we felt we could spend as we pleased. We have had to cut back on some purchases. People who largely depended on interest income for necessities are in a dilemma. Thanks for reading. Elton
