NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast · How Get Rich Slowly's Founder Retired at 40. Plus, What Higher Bond Yields Mean for Savers · 3 Sep 2026 podcast

Now, if that's something that interests you, there are a few different ways that you can invest in T-Bills.

You can do it in a brokerage account, and we have a roundup of the best brokers for treasury bills and bonds and notes that we can link in the show notes.

And then nowadays there's also something called a treasury account.

Account.

This is a newer type of product that on the front end it looks and feels just like an online savings account, but on the back end, it automatically invests your money in treasury bills for you.

So that you lock in the market yield on treasury bills at the time of each deposit, and you still get those state and local tax benefits.

NerdWallet offers a treasury account that is powered by Atomic, and then also one of the

Brokers We Review, public.com, offers a treasury account of its own.

We can link all those pages in the show notes.

One thing about using treasury bills or notes as savings products is that you don't pay an early withdrawal penalty if you cash them out early, like you would with a CD, but they are technically investments.

And if you pull your money out early, what you're actually doing is selling the bill or note before it matures.

And you might pay a higher or lower price for it.

it than what you bought it for.

And if the price is higher than what you paid for it.

you earn a profit, but that profit is probably going to be a taxable capital gain.

Whereas if you

Pull your money out and you're selling the bill or note for a lower price than you paid for it, you're losing money on that.

But that might be a tax deductible capital loss.

So again, it's it's more flexibility than a CD, but it's not quite as much flexibility as you get with like a savings account as far as savings vehicles go.

The government debt thing is kind of gonna be a persistent issue, but another part of why yields are high is because inflation is high and inflation is staying high in large part because of this war in the Middle East raising oil prices.
