I Bonds are the new popular girl in school—the Cady Heron who just flew in with her oversized pink polo. Guaranteed 9% return? Seems like a slam dunk, right? Personally, I’m not straying from my original long-term plan—because I have finite resources, investing money in I Bonds means it’s money I can’t use to buy more shares this year. To actually get the average return in the stock market, it requires continuously investing into that stock market over time—not stopping contributions when prices are lower.
