[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vanguard Target retirement funds have a $1000 minimum and flavours from 60% bonds to 90% stocks for every risk tolerance level. The important thing is to max out your tax sheltered options before doing anything in taxable. I'm the poster who keeps going on about I-bonds. They're guaranteed to keep up with inflation and if you use them for college the interest isn't taxed. You can't redeem them for a year past purchase, but they otherwise make excellent vehicles for emergency savings.[/quote] I-Bonds fixed rate component is at zero for the next 6 months. Treasury issued bonds have been in a trough for over a decade. What are you talking about?[/quote] NP, but i-bonds composite rate is at 1.76% right now-- which is a pretty good rate for a emergency savings fund that is 100% safe (no risk of loss of principal, plus a guarantee that returns will keep up with inflation), not to mention tax deferred and liquid (after a year).[/quote]
