M1 and M2

The idea

M1 includes currency and money in checking accounts, demand deposits. M2 includes all of M1 plus savings deposits, time deposits, and money market funds. The glossary already puts savings accounts in M1, as the Federal Reserve did in May twenty twenty.

In practice

Cash and checking; then savings, CDs, money funds.

Where people slip

The summary's split is taught; the redefinition recorded.
