The First Thing You Should Do in 2022
Another new year is upon us, and with it, millions of people are trying to figure out how they can improve their lives. For those aiming to make better use of their money, you can expect to see a lot more people trying to follow a budget, invest in the stock market for the first time, or open a retirement account to save for their long-term future.
In past years, I've pointed to the value of starting an IRA and buying an individual stock as worthy New Year's resolutions. Both of these are still smart things to do, and it makes sense to get started sooner rather than later.
But this year, there's a unique opportunity outside the stock market that's too good to pass up. Whether you're using it for short-term savings purposes or to protect against potential inflation over the long run, buying U.S. Series I savings bonds is something you'll want to consider very strongly as 2022 begins.
