      The DOW grew 25% over the last year.

      The S&P grew 30%

      The NASDAQ grew 35%

      What are you doing buying 8% Treasury Bonds?

        Set it and forget it. I dont have to worry about the dow contracting with a treasury bond. That’s the literal point.

        Exactly. But keep in mind that those are different things. Treasury bonds carry very little risk of losing money whereas investing in index funds/ETFs can lose you money.

        On the other hand, If I can get $20k a month with one of the safest investments around, I’m not screwing around with the stock market.
