1. "I put half of my paycheck into high-interest savings accounts."

2. This is okay.

3. Based on how I understand this, it should be: "For now though, the focus will be to bail out of investments in foreign countries with weak economies."

Are you familiar with banking and savings accounts? You put your money into an bank account. Let's say you put $100 into a savings account. The bank can now use your money and, in simple terms, they pay you for the use of your money. If they pay you $1 every year for the $100 you put in
