Investing in #245: I Bonds

As an investor, it’s difficult to find a low-risk, high-yield investment. In this regard, #245: I bonds are a great option. These bonds are issued by the U.S. Treasury and carry a fixed interest rate for the life of the bond. They are also inflation-protected, meaning the rate adjusts according to changes in the Consumer Price Index. This means that your investment is essentially protected against inflation.

One of the best things about I bonds is that they are backed by the U.S. government, making them one of the safest investments you can make. They are also non-callable, meaning they cannot be redeemed before maturity, ensuring that you will continue to earn interest for the duration of the bond.

Inherited IRA Rules

Inherited IRAs can be a great way to continue to grow wealth for future generations. However, there are some rules that you should be aware of when you are considering an inherited IRA.

First and foremost, the beneficiary of the IRA must take their first distribution by December 31st of the year following the death of the original owner. Subsequent distributions must also be taken annually, but the amount can vary depending on the beneficiary’s age and the value of the IRA.

Another important thing to note is that if there are multiple beneficiaries of an inherited IRA, the distribution must be split evenly among them, unless otherwise specified in the original owner’s will or trust document.
