I love my Investing for Interest Series. I have spanned the globe with topics concerning building wealth via fixed income and interest.

 

However, I haven't talked about Series "EE" bonds much. That stops today as I dive deeper into use cases for these savings bonds.

 

Is there a scenario where Series "EE" bonds best my favorite Series "I" Bonds? I believe "EE" bonds are better long-term if you commit to the 20-year holding period.

 

Unfortunately, whether you commit or not, life ends up happening. You are the loser if you must withdraw your "EE" bonds before the 20-year period.

 

The government is betting against you and assuming you will withdraw the cash. Only financially sound individuals should leverage these assets. I will discuss more inside. Good Luck!
