Go to Unit 2 Discussion Forum. Discuss five ways that the federal interest affects you and your bank account, and what does that mean for your future financial plans? For example, what if you were wanting to save up money for a new vehicle or a new home? How would the interest rates affect the growth of your savings? Say you have enough money saved up for the down payment on the house what interest rate would you be able to live with for say 15-30 years.
