How can I earn interest or invest my money safely somewhere?

I have around 2k to 3k in bank account. This money is like idle. Here in USA, bank interest is around 0.Is there any way I can invest them somewhere so that I can earn something on this idle money? is there government bond which gives 2 to 3% interest yearly? If yes where and how can I buy those? Please advice in detail. Thanks

  2. Hi charkat, stock market, day trading, stocks, bonds and options are all kind of iffy. people make millions on them, they also lose their shirts sometimes. I have a MUCH safer business opportunity for you. I have found a turnkey money generating business with real stability and a physical presence. I am talking about low maintenance, minimally staffed, do it yourself "self serve storage facilities". http://www.pellabuildings.com will work with you to get the financing you need and their trained staff will assist with the paperwork, zoning and equipment rental and other steps needed to start your own business. Once that is done, you start rent out the units to generate large amounts of income. If there is need, it’s very easy to expand this type of business. You can grow from a dozen units to thousands of with each unit bringing in anywhere from less than $100 to greater than $1000 or more depending on location, use, size and your investment. These storage facilities will self advertise as people drive by and see it. People need to store everything and anything from from furniture to sports cars, dishes to yachts and everything in between! Business will even rent your storage facilities to store their surplus during off seasons, etc. The Self Serve Storage business uses state of the art computer programs to keep everything running smooth, safe and efficient. Once your business is set up, it practically runs itself; customers have a key code to get through the large fence and a key or combination to get into their personal storage unit. Credit cards can be used at your new state of the art kiosk, new customers can rent new storage units, existing customers can pay rent and more, all with no human interaction necessary, perhaps even at 3am, earning you money while you sleep. This is NOT a get rich quick scheme, this is a time tested, provable, "working right now" very necessary business. With the housing market the way it is, more and more people are moving from houses to apartments or relocating to different cities and states, those people are all in need of storage facilities and you can profit by helping to meet that need. www.PellaBuildings.com, the LEADER in self storage facilities, can offer you consultation on business property; they can take care of much of the paperwork for you, locate property, supply contractors and assist you from ground breaking through construction completion to ribbon cutting. Call them at 800-225-0481 and kudos for wanting to be your own boss and put your money to work for you.
