But is this actually the right way to build long-term wealth? Ramin Nakisa from the PensionCraft YouTube channel, and friend of the podcast, is a fan of bonds. That doesn’t mean he thinks they’re always the right choice but he believes they can be useful in particular scenarios.

Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
