    Imagine if you have $1,000. Instead of buying stocks or crypto, you take that $1,000 and give it to the government as a loan. You can buy a government bond or bond ETF. The government will take your money and then give you around 4.5% interest on that money. What does that mean? It means that $1,000 you invested, you’re gonna get $45 every year from that $1,000. And when the loan is up, when the loan finishes, the government returns to you the entire $1,000 back. This is called fixed income, and it’s probably one of the safest ways to invest your money. Why? Because the US government is mostly safe. They most likely will not go bankrupt tomorrow or in the next year. And if the US government goes bankrupt, then we have much bigger problems. In the case of US government bonds or treasury, it is considered the safest investment there is because you’re basically lending money to the US government. And the US has never missed a payment!
