There's been a lot of talk recently about rising interest rates, inflation, and what all of this means for the bond portion of your investment portfolio.

So today, I've invited Tim Tenbrink, CFP®, back to the show to talk about retirement planning, investment management, and, specifically, the role bonds can play in a well diversified retirement portfolio.

We'll talk about bond quality, duration, the relationship between interest rates and bond prices, and give you a few things to consider as you prepare to invest for what we hope will be a long retirement.
