I noticed that you are only getting 1% interest on your savings. Since this post is dated as being published in 2012, high-yielding savings accounts of more than 2% were not around then. But I would highly recommend opening an account with at least $1,000 dollars or more at Web Bank, or another one that offers 2.45% interest immediately.

Muni bonds are a nice option if you’re looking for low risk.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It’s really good to read posts about personal experience. I was planning to invest in mutual funds, but I guess it won’t be a good idea for short-term investing.

very informative article,

I do have one question related to the cnn money tool. I gave it a try and put parameters of 3-5 years get money back, high risk, and buy in sell offs. With those parameters it gave me a bond heavy portfolio. Honestly, I have never even really considered bonds because it seems all I hear is bad things about them currently.

So basically my question to you is for short term and high risk tolerance is it even worth considering bonds or is some other form of investment such as the p2p lending a better option?

Lastly, I was also curious if you had any other experiences with p2p lending? Would you consider it for more than just say the theoretical $5000 for 1-2 year investment that you had?

I’ve been involved in real estate for about 46 years and feel it is perhaps the best vehicle going. Just about everything you can think of has to involve real estate. Since 1999, I ‘ve been investing in real estate paper (Mortgage notes) and have had a measure of success. My plan calls for earning 10% for the use of investor’s funds for a term of 120 days maximum. To avoid the notion of fraud, investor’s funds do not have to issue forth until the real estate transaction is under contract and ready to close. To further protect the investor, funds are escrowed and remitted by an independent law firm.

If your a retail investor you are not going to make it in the stock market. And investments such as CD’s you only earn pennies on the dollar.

I invest in trust deeds. They equal high secure returns for the small guy.

Look at these two companies if you do not believe me: Ampez Rehab Investments or The Norris Group.

I feel comfortable enough with investments although I have a longer term outlook. I think you made the right choice. I really like the fact that you recognize at this time you are not full educated on stocks and therefore will not take the risk investing in them.
