I missed out on the good old days, congrats on those!
Those are some creative ways to load up in a relatively short time period, something to consider.
If you like iBonds, the 1.3% fixed is the highest it's been for a long time, makes sense to buy as much as you can.
I have some 3.4%-ish fixed rate ones purchased in the late 1990's, I'm not sure I would want to touch equities if I could get that rate again
The best ones I have from back then are 1.2% bonds from 2008 or so. At one time, we sold all our I-Bonds at treasury direct and kept just our old paper ones. However, now that the rate is attractive again, and we pulled the trigger on the LMP through early retirement, we decided to load back up on them when the opportunity presented itself.Statistics: Posted by stevewolfe — Sun Jul 21, 2024 11:45 am — Replies 41 — Views 3806
