Inflation is here and there aren’t many people out there who are fans of it either. Gas and food prices are through the roof (among other consumables). But there might be a small silver lining in this if you have some extra cash lying around.

Treasury I Bonds (issued by the U.S. Treasury) have been very enticing lately. This is not just because they’re considered safe, but also because the interest rate is tied to the government’s measure of inflation. TLDR: The higher inflation goes, the higher the interest rates on I Bonds.

Dr. Leif Dahleen, also known as
Physician on Fire, is on the show to discuss the basics of I Bonds. 

Things to expect in this episode:

  • What are US Treasury I Bonds
  • How are US Treasury I Bonds calculated
  • The Pros & Cons of using Treasury I Bonds
  • Why does Physician on Fire recommend Treasury I Bonds
  • Who should be purchasing these bonds

Physician on Fire’s Step by Step Guide on Treasury I Bonds: How, When, and Why To Buy I Bonds
