3 Steps to Earn 33% More Than Your High-Yield Savings Account

If you want to earn 33% more than you’re currently earning in your high-yield savings account, here are the three things you need to do today.

1. Open a Roth IRA

Start by opening a Roth IRA through Vanguard or a brokerage firm of your choice.

2. Fund Your Roth IRA

Fund that Roth IRA with up to $7,000 if you're under 50, or $8,000 if you're over 50.

3. Invest in a Treasury ETF

Invest that money in a risk-free treasury ETF like S-Gov. This is where you get that 33%.

4. Understand the Interest Comparison

Remember, in your high-yield savings account, your money was taxed. You weren’t really earning 4%; you were earning closer to 3%. In the Roth IRA, since it’s a retirement account, you’ll be earning 4%. Plus, 33% of your interest is staying in your pocket where it belongs.
