[quote=Anonymous]So say I have 25k in my emergency fun that’s liquid. In December I buy 10K of bonds at 7.12% interest. So I make about $712 next year. But I can’t sell the bonds for a year, so if I lost my job in January, that 10K is untouchable for the first year. The gains are also taxed at ordinary income. So at 30% interest, I’m really only earning less than $500. Tell me if I’m missing something, but for me it’s not with having access to that $10k next year as emergency fund, just to get a $500 gain.
