Series I Bonds have a very high yield right now due to inflation. The interest rates changes every six months and have a lockup period of 12 months. If you do not need immediate liquidity, this can be a safe option for savings.

War is dreadful. The America I know and love believes in democracy, equality of opportunity, and community. When democracy thrives, economies thrive, and when economies thrive, people and families thrive personally and financially.

Remember that part of the inflation in housing is being driven by our own preferences for location, design, and space. If you’re looking to save money, you may need to compromise on one or more of those elements. You should also definitely have an experienced Realtor® helping you navigate this market either as a buyer or seller.
