Is Putting Money In A Savings Account/cd’s Even Worth It? How Much Does The Government Take From It?

November 10, 2009

If I made $300 in interest this year let’s say – does the government take as much from that as they would my paycheck? Is it even worth saving to gain interest?

You’re not losing any of your savings so what’s the problem? The government only taxes you on the interest you made, so if you made $300 in interest just remember you’re only bringing half of it home. It’s better than putting your money in a no-interest account and not earning anything.
