Because he is talking about actual "cash" on hand which obviously would not collect interest. Since you say yours is collecting interest, it must be some other type of liquid asset, which you will need to liquidate to turn into "cash". "Cash" is a liquid asset, but a liquid asset is not necessarily "cash".
Actually you do but since you don't understand what liquidate means when referring to finance it doesn't surprise me you said this. Do you have the actual cash on you that are in these accounts? No, you don't. All you have is a statement or a checkbook that shows what is in that account. In order to get the cash, you must go to bank or ATM and withdraw the cash, or with a checking account you write a check. This procedure of withdrawing or writing a check is called "liquidating". I'm not sure how many times this needs to be explained to you but it's really simple to understand for a normal person.Actually, since the cash I have in a savings account is cash and is earning interest and I don't have to "liquidate" it in order to obtain it, you are laughably wrong.
But by all means, explain what I "don't understand" and stuff.
It will be exciting.
