It’s Sunday, which means...It’s recap time!

The theme for this week was: Investing in bonds.

Bonds will likely be a critical component of your investment portfolio in retirement. So it’s important that you have a basic knowledge of how to invest in bonds and why you should consider bonds for your retirement portfolio in the first place.

In case you missed any of this week’s episodes, here’s what we covered:

• Why bonds serve an important role in retirement
• How much of your retirement portfolio should be invested in bonds
• The top 3 mistakes I see investors make with their bond portfolios
• What a bond ladder is and why it’s a time-tested way to invest in bonds
• And, a discussion of the trade-offs of individual bonds vs. bond funds.

If you missed any of these episodes, you can find them on iTunes by searching for the “One Minute Retirement Tip with Ashley”.

That’s it for this week! Thanks for listening.

Tomorrow, come on back, because we’re starting a brand new theme: The most googled personal finance topics by state. We’ll look at who’s googling pet insurance, Roth IRAs, & early retirement and what’s important for you to know about each of these personal finance topics.

We’ll also find out which state is googling money laundering. I think you’ll find the answer not surprising in the least, but comical nonetheless.

My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the “One Minute Retirement Tip”.
