So, we’ve got the 30-year Treasury bonds sitting at a 4.37% yield, and I’m here trying to figure out if Series I Bonds and Series EE Bonds are worth a look in this scenario. The deal with Series EE Bonds is pretty straightforward: they’re meant to double your money in 20 years, which works out to a certain annual return if you stick with them till the end. But then you’ve got the 30-year Treasury bonds offering a beefier yield.
Now, toss in the current fixed rate for Series EE Bonds and the fact that interest rates can swing either way, and it gets you thinking: are Series EE or even Series I Bonds, with their inflation-proof interest, a smart move for those of us trying to find a sweet spot between risk and making some decent returns in 2024?
