Short term investing

By Terry Savage on June 06, 2026 | Chicken Money

How should I invest money short term from the sale of my house? Renting for 2 years then deciding whether to buy a condo or continue to rent. CDs, Tbills? On my own or through a financial planner? Retired 66yo

Terry Says

This is truly the definition of “chicken money” — money you cannot afford to lose.
Either purchase a bank CD for one year — should yield at least 3.75%.
Or consider the purchase of Treasury bills. Read this: https://www.terrysavage.com/t-bills-beat-cds-2/

You do this on your own. YOu don’t need to pay anyone for this advice!
