<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I've noticed how economically gifted many of you are and wanted to ask a question I've never asked anyone before. I am a college student just about to graduate, but somehow in the course of my very fiscally conservative upbringing, I've managed to save just a hair under $30,000. I come from a family of very modest means and I've been taught to save every penny. In addition a small portion of that hunk is from an insurance settlement which is another story entirely. I currently have this money completely invested in CDs. I have almost no economic experience other than a C+ in Macroeconomics and wanted to check with those of you smart cookies to see if my CD strategy was an ok way of going about making my money work as hard as possible. The cds all have an APY of 5.45%. If it changes anything, I can tolerate almost no risk, and I have basically no income, being a student. Hopefully, someday this will become a downpayment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you in advance for any advice you may have!</p>
