It's unusual to have $62k or more in a savings account.
Either it's some sort of 6-month emergency fund and CDs typically make more sense (ladder or not) or it's money you want to grow, in which case investing in index funds is the better approach.

The OP said it would take decades to make $1k or $2k; I pointed out it doesn't take that much money to make that in only 1 year. It's not that unusual to have $30k in savings, so that's roughly $1k in interest in 2 years, which is an order of magnitude lower than what the OP was claiming.
