If I am currently earning x% interest in the bank, is there a reason why I would buy SSB now even though it will take at least 4 years to achieve more than x% average return per year? ?

The only reason you'll do this is when you have more confidence that the bank will not be raising interest rates for the next 4 years!

To that, no one would know the answer. Past performance is not indicative of future results, this investment tip applies to your question. :)

I will most probably be buying a house in 4-5 years time. Would you advice to save up the house fund in bank or buy safe stocks and sell it 4-5 years later to fund for housing expense (reno etc.)?

IF I have 1mil cash and based on 5% rule, I would have $50k per yr or $4.1k per month. How would you recommend for me to earn $50k interest per year. I'm open to work at MCD or starbucks as part time.?

Does it make sense to redeem SSB with lower step up interest 1.4x - 2.0x for 1st 3 - 4 yrs but with attractive step up in last few yrs arises to eg. 2.11 % & 2.31% (Mar Apr 18 tranche) average interest?

As an investment newb that is risk-averse, how should I allocate my Savings/ Investments(IVMT) ratios, in order to achieve 70~100K more in Net Value over next 4 years? X% = % of my current Net Value

Will be starting University in August, currently have about $57.2k in cash and $7k in investments. Planning to take up the interest free tuition fee and study loan, so about $11.8k per year. Opinions?
