this episode, Adam Nash delves into the world of inflation-protected bonds, specifically TIPs and Series I Savings Bonds. As the CEO and co-founder of Daffy, a not-for-profit community built around a modern platform for giving, Adam brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Series I Savings Bonds are a type of U.S. government bond that is designed to protect investors from inflation. Unlike TIPs, which are traded daily and can fluctuate in value, Series I Savings Bonds guarantee your principal investment. This means that you cannot lose capital when investing in them. However, they do come with some limitations. For instance, you can only purchase up to $10,000 worth of them online per year, and you must hold them for at least one year before selling. If you sell them before five years, there's an interest rate penalty. Despite these limitations, Series I Savings Bonds can be a good investment option for those looking to stash away some money for the long term that is protected from inflation.
