This year I bought my first-ever Treasury note. I’ll outline the reasons in a minute. For the curious, the process was straightforward. I purchased my 10-year TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Security) directly from the treasury through my brokerage at a recent treasury auction. Since it was through an auction, there were no transaction fees. Why did I do this? I’m trying to “immunize” my retirement. Or at least the first ten years of retirement. But first, a little background as to why.
