June 10, 2022Let's talk about Treasury I-Bonds! #289
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!
Inflation is here and there aren’t many people out there who are fans of it either. Gas and food prices are through the roof (among other consumables). But there might be a small silver lining in this if you have some extra cash lying around.

Treasury I Bonds (issued by the U.S. Treasury) have been very enticing lately. This is not just because they’re considered safe, but also because the interest rate is tied to the government’s measure of inflation. TLDR: The higher inflation goes, the higher the interest rates on I Bonds.

Dr. Leif Dahleen, also known as Physician on Fire, is on the show to discuss the basics of I Bonds.

Things to expect in this episode:
What are US Treasury I Bonds
How are US Treasury I Bonds calculated
The Pros & Cons of using Treasury I Bonds
Why does Physician on Fire recommend Treasury I Bonds
Who should be purchasing these bonds
Physician on Fire’s Step by Step Guide on Treasury I Bonds: How, When, and Why To Buy I Bonds
