When you hear “Treasury auction,” you probably picture Wall Street suits or billion-dollar hedge funds.
But here’s what they don’t teach you in school:
You can buy U.S. Treasuries directly—just like the big players—and it could be one of the safest wealth moves you ever make.
What Are Treasuries?
They’re government-issued bonds that pay you interest in exchange for lending Uncle Sam your money.
These aren’t risky plays—they’re:
- Backed by the U.S. government
- Exempt from state & local income taxes
- Great for preserving wealth and creating low-risk passive income
Types include:
- T-Bills (mature in under 1 year)
- T-Notes (2–10 years)
- T-Bonds (20–30 years)
- TIPS (inflation-protected)
2 Ways to Get In (No Suits Required):
- TreasuryDirect.gov: Set up a free account, fund it from your bank, and choose your investment. It’s simple, safe, and government-run.
- Through a brokerage: Fidelity, Schwab, and others let you buy them with a few clicks.
💰 Pro tip: Use a non-competitive bid—you’ll automatically get the full amount you want at the auction yield.
Why It Belongs in Your Legacy Plan:
- Better returns than most savings accounts
- No risk from banks or market volatility
- Predictable income, especially when laddered
- A safe place for emergency funds or short-term cash
This is what the ultra-wealthy use to preserve capital, not chase wild returns.
