Let's march on with this multi-part series about intro to investing. Today's going to be part three

all about bonds in this, the 59th episode of the Retirement Planning Education Podcast.

Welcome to the Retirement Planning Education Podcast, where you can learn all about IRAs and

Roth IRAs, employer retirement plans, taxes, social security, Medicare, portfolio withdrawal strategies, annuities, estate planning, and much more.

And now here's your host, Andy Panko.

Welcome back, everybody. Thank you as always for listening.

Today we'll be talking about bonds. James bonds. Nope, just kidding. We're talking about

financial bonds. Super exciting stuff, I know, try to contain yourself. So this is the third part

in a to be determined number of part series on intro to investing. Just to recap quickly,

first part was general background of investing and some other

concepts to keep in mind in a summary of the various different account types, financial account

types, like regular brokerage account, IRA, Roth IRA, et cetera. Last week was part two was all about

stocks. That was a good one. Today, I promised to try to make it as good as that. Today will be all about

bonds. And spoiler alert, next week, part four, episode 60, will be about mutual funds and

exchange traded funds, aka ETFs. Beyond that, still not entirely sure what structure I'm going to do.

One, I just decided today, one I'm going to do will be about a sort of capstone tie it altogether.

Now that you learned about individual specific things, background, stocks, bonds, mutual funds.

Try to try to do like a capstone episode that pulls it all together and is something along the

lines of how to create a portfolio, you know, how to literally pull it all together. So anyway,

I haven't thought much beyond that, so I don't have a name or outline, but that'll definitely be a good one.

So let's get in it with bonds. It needs to do a disclaimer, additional disclaimer above and beyond the one at the end of this podcast.

Since we are talking about investing, this whole series, this podcast, anything I say is definitely not investing advice.
