Sometimes there can be a “good” side to inflation. Today, I am going to share how you can tap into that side in just about two weeks – you’re gonna love this!
In May, the U.S. Treasury Department will issue its newest Series I savings bonds, or “I bonds.” These bonds have a yield that is based on the inflation rate. And in May, they will pay you 9% or more!
That’s not a typo. The U.S. government will pay you a guaranteed 9% on your money – try getting that from your bank!
Here’s the catch… You can get that 9%-plus return only on an investment of up to $10,000 and only if you hold the bonds for a year. Otherwise, you will get hit with a small penalty (though the return will still be better than you’d get from your bank or any certificate of deposit).
And if you want to get that 9% return on more than $10,000, here’s how you can:
- Every eligible member of your family can get that rate on an investment of up to $10,000.
- You have to sign up electronically here: https://www.treasurydirect.gov
- If you want to invest even more money and get that 9% return, you can invest an additional $5,000, but that has to be in physical (paper) notes.
The last time I checked, the best one-year certificate of deposit was paying around 1%. These I bonds generate 800% better returns!
And you can do it again next year.
So what are you waiting for?
