Have you heard of I bonds and are wondering how they can work for you? An Inflationary bond is an interest-earning bond issued by the government.

Even though the money market isn’t looking very attractive right now, I bonds seem attractive and are as of today paying up to a 9.62% rate of return.

In this episode of the Secure Your Retirement podcast, we talk about I bonds, what they are, and how they can benefit you. Listen in to learn how to buy I bonds and make them the most efficient for you with their rate of return.  

In this episode, find out:

●     Understanding an I bond and why it’s attractive to buy during this inflation.

●     How to buy I bonds individually from the government online.
