Introduction
It is my personal finance study. I started the research starting from Nov. 2018. Tonight I spent more than two hours to sort all papers related to 4 CD accounts from New York community bank. I like to case study No. 1 account from 2006 to 2019.
Case study
First of all, I am still pushing myself to learn how to manage accounts. This is the first time I decided to spend time to sort out all CD statements, and then staple all statements for one account together.
I just could not believe that it is such great feeling. I have luxury time to review my own finance statement, and then look into the issues. How should I do in order to manage accounts and do it proper way.
My belief is that I have to build good finance habits first. In order to grow rich and build wealth, I have to learn and train myself to take business seriously.
Facts to review
I chose easy way to put No. 1 account with New Community bank CD. Since I experienced 2002, 2008 recession, I sold all stocks and IRA, and took the loss.
One thing is that I did not spend time from 2010 to 2018 November to study finance and investment at all.
What I like to do is to check in all statements in github, and then share in juliapersonalfinance. I was so glad to learn from my own experience. Even though I only made the interest from CD from 2006 to 2019.

Actionable Items
I need to look up data from Form 5498 in order to get the balance for the account 4010.
It is hard for me to figure out the detail since I did not do annual checking for this account. It is hard for me to figure out the detail, but at least I made some interest and compound interest amount based on this account.
