T Bills update: The last 4 week bill issued on 11/29/2022 had an
investment rate of 4.038%, the 8 week 4.204%, we have some 13 week
ones as well, and have been laddering. These rates crush our bank
accounts which is why I moved most of our cash out of the bank a
bit back except for what we need to manage our regular household
and have some bucks for quick needs/emergencies. The Treasury
Direct website is easy to use, bank and forth from a bank
account.
This is really good news for seniors too who have suffered for
years not being able to make interest in bank accounts with the low
rates. I've continued to supplement my Mom's income with T Bills,
the automatic reinvestment provides convenience as well. The
interest is sent to the bank account when the principal is
reinvested into a new bill.
And also as a teaching tool for savings. My grandfather taught
me to save through savings bonds years ago and it stuck with me for
life. I've been using T Bills as a tool and the system trades to
work with my grandson who's 8. "Papa, what is the new T Bills
rate?" "Papa, what did the system say today?"
