There is a decent comparison here: https://www.ratehub.ca/savings-accou.../high-interest |
I think this is just hard for people to accept because it’s easy to look and see decent gains over time. So it can lull people into feeling like it’s so common to make that return, that they should invest this money, make easy money for a year and just have more next year! Next thing you know, it’s March 23,2020 and you need the cash that day to close on a deal.
