TIPS Purchase Question

Post by JakeyLee »

Hello all,

I’ve decided to move some cash in the next couple weeks, and purchase 10k of TIPS. In one of the many TIPS discussions I saw a quick/easy guide on how and where to purchase said TIPS. I’ve been searching the “search” feature all morning and for the life of me, I cannot find it. Does anyone have a link or possible direction ? Thank you so much for any info you can provide .

Either way, you'll want to start by creating an account on treasurydirect.gov
Wow. I’m an idiot. I was using TIPs and I bonds interchangeably all this time. Thank you! I was definitely talking about I Bonds. Now I will start my deep dive on the difference between the two. Thanks again.
