    About this ebook

    Everywhere you look, you can find places paying you 5% interest on your deposits. However, this won't last forever.

     

    If you want to guarantee a great return over a long period, look no further than Series "I" Bonds.

     

    The government determines rates on Series "I" Bonds from inflation data, not current interest rates.

     

    This means that if inflation rises faster than rates, as it did in 2022, Series "I" bonds will be the best place to store your money.

     

    If you are new to the world of compounding interest, Series "I" Bonds are a great place to start building your portfolio. Good Luck!

      01  Why Series I? The Benefits of Investing in Savings Bonds

      With the Federal Funds rate hovering around 5%, there are many places to park your cash and receive a good deal of interest.

      Some of these investments include high-yield savings, certificates of deposit, treasury bills, and treasury notes. With so many choices, how is a saver to choose?

      How to invest is a deeply personal choice, so the more information you have, the better decision you can make. However, let’s not forget about Series I Bonds directly from the US government.

      Achieve F.I.R.E. via Income Investing

      Interest rates versus inflation. Series I Bonds are unique in that they derive their interest rates from inflation. This may seem a minor distinction from the others, but let’s explore.

      Interest rates and inflation don’t always move in tandem. Inflation comes from market forces, and the Federal Reserve controls interest rates.

      So, that means there are times when inflation can spike before the Federal Reserve increases interest rates. This scenario can cause a unique opportunity for Series I Bonds.

      We had such a period from May 2022 to November 2022, when the composite rate for Series I Bonds spiked to 9.62%. At the time, the Federal Reserve rate was 1-3%.

      Hands-free investing. More importantly, Series I Bonds pay interest for 30 years. That means someone else will adjust rates for you; all you need to do is relax.
