I can now finally buy bonds without wanting to rip my hair out.

Public makes it so easy to buy bonds, whether you're into treasuries or corporate bonds, you can browse thousands of options right from your phone.

But like I said, public isn't just all about bonds.

You can also find stocks and ETFs and they offer a high yield cash account with a 4.1 percent APY, which is higher than the national average.

They even have retirement accounts.

You can now open a traditional or Roth IRA or both right on public.

So your future self covered.

And for a limited time, you can earn a 1% match on all your IRA deposits, IRA transfers, and 401k rollovers.

If you want an investing experience that's both smart and simple, head to public.com slash money rehab.

One more time, public.com slash money rehab.

This is a paid endorsement for public investing.

I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand.

It's time for some money rehab.

I'm about to tell you about one of my least favorite opinions in personal finance.

Renting is just throwing money down the drain.

I want to roll my eyes every single time I hear that.

You might have heard me debate Paul Mark Morris, the real estate investor, about this on the show, but I wanted to do an entire episode because there is honestly so much to dig into.

And it's a question where you really need to follow the money trail and you can't just trust what's being told to you as gospel.

and if you're just listening to this episode i would highly encourage you to please watch on spotify or on youtube we are animating this episode up with pretty graphics and actually showing you the math which i always think is easier to follow before we dig into this i just want to give you a heads up up front that i don't think buying a house is the right financial move for everyone it could be but it's not for everyone and in fact in this economy i think buying a house is actually the wrong financial move for a lot of people
