If someone can invest only 500, their 5% yield would creep up to 525 the end of the year, 512.50 at the end of a six month CD, and so on (if they're not compounded, that is). Not much if you ask me, for leaving money in a bank or any financial institution for that matter, unless in ETF (which would give you more bang for that much)
On the other hand--I read it in an original post not too long ago--someone posted a deal about some CD and investing 50k in it! 50K?? Now that's some serious moolah to put into a CD.
If you can invest 50K in CDs, that tells me you're arguably in top 5% of of SDers. Anyhoo, so, yes, then you can haggle about the difference in annual returns of 2500 (5%) vs 3000 (6%).
Percentage of what principal amount? That often gets lost in such back and forth
