7 Facts About How Corona Virus Really Affects Your Retirement Savings

Savings Accounts Will Pay Lower Interest Rates

Due to the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut, many households are left scrambling and worried about their savings. For some, interest rates may have been the only valuable solution to ensuring a little extra cash during retirement, so it’s no wonder that this turn of events could have potentially ugly consequences.

But there are things you can do with your money while the situation resolves itself. First and foremost, look for saving accounts with higher interest rates. Online savings accounts, for example, are known to have better rates.

Another good alternative is to put your money in a certificate of deposit, provided of course that you won’t need the cash any time soon. You shouldn’t tap the CD too early, so this should only be an option for those who can rely on Social Security or other forms of retirement income in the meantime.
