a certificate of deposit. The money gets locked in for a certain amount of time and at a certain rate.

Re: Really clueless financial question
Certificate of Deposit...a long term saving instrument that pays slightly higher interest rates then a traditional savings account but your money is locked up for the term of the deposit. They can be anywhere from 3 months - 5 years. The longer the term, the higher the interest rate. There are penalties associated with withdrawing before the end of the term.
