Double Your Money in a Money Market

Happy New Year! It's been a bit since my last post but I was spending a lot time with family and friends for the holidays and didn't have a lot time for posts.

I probably caught your eye with that headline and it's true, you can double your money in a money market account - with today's rates it will take a mere 139 years. That's right, being invested in a money market earning 0.5% interest annually it would take 139 years to double your money. If you are looking to grow your money for retirement, having it invested in a money market fund is not the way to do it long term.
