Economic wisdom is very paramount to any lad or lassie, man or
woman or whoever is interested in making wealth. Central Bank has
offered Kenyans from all walks what we call,the TREASURY BILL,
acronymated to T-Bill.Some say T-Bills are meant for the RICH, A myth i
will demystify as you learn on. A T-Bill is simply a future cheque with
matured interests.Unlike
loans where the interests is meant for the lenders(banks) in T-Bill the
interests are meant for you.Before you raise your eyebrow read on. The
government in a bid of ensuring that it remains with the threshold
financial figures within its financial institutions, it welcomed the
public to bank their idle money with them.This is how your interest is
summed. For instance you have some 200,000 ksh still pondering on what
worthy investment you should use them on, while pondering on it, take
this money to CBK. Now, once there , the money you banked is patched in
groups of hundreds. The 200,000 bob will fragment into 2000 hundreds,
hope you comprehend the logic. Now depending on interest rate, in every
hundred the government can decide to have a 7.6% interest rate given to
you. This approximately means in every 100 bob the government loses
roughly 1.80 ksh in your favour. The interest is now multiplied by the
patches ie 1.80*2000 which is something close to 2500 shillings in a few
times span.The longer the time agreement of witholding the money wth
CBK the lower the interest rate and vice versa. So none goes a loss,
since with your short time you get higher interest rates far much beyond
what other banks would have offered. Another goodie is that with CBK
you enjoy safety unlike these smaller financial institutions that could
end up being liquidated. Remember CBK is at its helm controlling these
smaller financial apparatus. It is like your household is being guarded
by presidential security personel. You become 99% safe from
externalities. Get your money to the T-Bill, get wealthier as you build
the nation simultaneously hence the allegory of killing two birds with
one stone.
