Is it possible to purchase treasury bonds through a 529 or will I…

LPT: If you’re in you’re in your 30s, ask you’re parents if they have any saving bonds relatives bought you! In the 80s and 90s, it was HUGE for relatives to buy tresuary bonds for kid’s birthdays.

I don’t know why bonds are considered to be safer than interest on savings Hi, I’m new here and I don’t know anything about personal finance, I’ve been told countless times that bonds represent the risk-free rate because they are sooo safe, but what I’m wondering is why not just put money into a savings account, not only are the interest rates better, I think??, but also not that risky if you have savings on multiple a…

(US) Is there any savings type (e.g. bonds, whatever) that allows you reinvest the dividends at the same rate that you locked it in initially at? Like if I put money into a 30-year 4% Treasury Bond and it spit out $2,000 every year. Would there be a way to have that 4% rate locked in for the next 30 years to invest that $2,000 APY into? If not, is there any similar thing to what I am asking for? Why I am asking: I think the ~4% APY rates right now are pretty good and I would like to “lo…
