Investment options.

Introduction

Ever since I found out about investment opportunities, I’ve always loved to jump on them. Unfortunately, I’ve been riding on the wrong track like Ponzi schemes and fake investment platforms that promises huge returns. This platform almost sent me back from city to village without any thing to show for it.

But ever since I was introduced to “treasury bills and bonds”, I’ve come to appreciate the silent power of patience. You hardly see them make headlines and I’m guessing is because they are not flashy like other investment schemes that promises unrealistic returns but they whisper words so soothing to their investors, “I’ve got your back”.

The best part about treasury bills and bonds is that they are backed by government. It’s secured, simple, solid and unshaken. They ensure your money grows safely and steadily. When I mean steadily, think of it like planting a seed and trusting the seasons to do their work. Buying into this investment is the best gift you can give yourself this year 2025.

During the early period I started, I was skeptical about it because of my experience in the past. I wasn’t willing to risk any more money but what made me take the bold step was that, I wasn’t handing over my cash to one mavrodi guy somewhere in Russia that kept promising us heaven on earth, instead I was lending my cash to my country.

Treasury bills are short term loans given by the government at a discounted rate in order for the public to be part of. This investment options are backed by the government and are the safest to invest in. it matures within 3 months, 6 months or 1 year, then you get your full money alongside with your profit.

Just go to any bank or approach a broker and tell them you want to buy treasury bills. You can decide to go for the smaller investment plan, it all depends on your budget. After purchase, is now up to you to pick between 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, when you need your money back. No drama, just a calm, predictable reward for your trust.

Bonds is the big brother of treasury bills. These are long term loans given to the government from a year and above but there interest are higher, same thing goes for the risk. But there’s nothing as comforting as when you know that you know your money is saved in the hands of government. We have bonds issued by government that has low risk, we also have bonds issued corporate organizations, this comes with high risk.

I am yet to invest in bonds because it requires huge capital that’s why I started with treasury bills through my bank. The money put into it wasn’t much but the feeling of watching it matured, knowing fully well it will bare fruit, made it priceless. I had reinvest both my capital and my profit for the second time and my next maturity date is march.

If you are considering following this path, I will suggest you use your spare money.

After that you can reinvest your profits and capital at the end of maturity date in order to get more returns

Although, I’m yet to participate in bond, I’m also thinking of a long term investment with it once i am able to raise the money.

So, if you’re looking were to invest your money especially in this uncertain times, I’ll suggest buying bonds and treasury bills, any day anytime. It might be a bit slow but it is a pathway to financial stability.
