MONEY 210 words
Compare Two Savings Products Before You Open an Account
One account has a slightly higher rate but you cannot touch the money for two years. This compares the two options on the numbers that matter for how long you are saving and what you are saving for, flags the things worth reading before you sign, and tells you which one to pick.

{PRODUCT_B} is the second option: same details.
{SAVINGS_GOAL} is what the user is saving for and roughly how long they plan to leave the money there.
