Show Notes

It's been hard to find investment products that people can participate in that limit their downside risk of loss while also paying a decent interest rate. For this reason, I-savings bonds have exploded in popularity.

I-savings bonds (I = inflation) are government savings bonds that pay an interest rate that is tired to the CPI - U inflation rate in America. Lately, as inflation has skyrocketed, so has the interest rate on these savings bonds.
