Cash, Bonus, Etc.

Hey all,

Does anyone have advice for some of us recent college grads for ways to save/receive a good ROI on some of our salary?

Interest rates on savings accounts are so low these days; what have some of you guys done to grow your money if you had enough to put aside for a while?

Thanks!

 

Stocks, FOREX. Savings accounts really blow at current rates, you'd be foolish to not be investing cash that you do not need. I currently have over 90% of my liquid assets in investments as the 10% in cash is plenty enough to use, even for emergencies. If you got into CDs a few years back, some of them are locked in with pretty decent rates. CDs these days are pretty garbage in terms of return, though.

Also, you really need to do your research before getting into these, otherwise you'll probably be taken to the cleaners. Especially in the case of FOREX.
