Say you deposit $1,000 into your bank. The bank will happily pay you interest on your deposit, and the longer you leave it there, the higher the interest rate the bank is willing to pay. Did you every wonder why? The bank is very happy to pay you 2% interest when they will lend out up to ten times the amount at, say 6%. So on your $1,000 deposit, they pay you $20 and they earn $600. Not a bad return, considering they are using YOUR MONEY!!
