I read the other day that the Fed is not likely to raise interest rates until 2023. Wha??? That’s cray cray! 

Interest rates have been really low now since the financial crisis...going on 14 years! If you watch CNBC or read investment-related news, you may be thinking that investing in bonds is a bad idea. 

And you might be asking yourself…Why then are you here telling me about bonds this week? That’s a good question. Investing in bonds isn’t dead! In fact, bonds should still make up a meaningful portion of your portfolio, especially if you’re over 50.

I really do love bonds and it’s important that you understand how to invest in bonds because they are likely to play a key role for your investment portfolio in retirement. 

So this week on the One Minute retirement tip podcast, I’m talking about why you should invest in bonds now. How bonds fit into your overall retirement portfolio, why you need them, and what type of bonds I’m investing in right now. 

This is a big, important topic and I’m going to do my best to help you become a better bond investor this week. 

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening! 

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