So just how do you actually go about buying bonds? Here are a few easy options:

1. Buy Direct: You can buy government bonds directly through web sites such as Treasury Direct, or you can use a brokerage for corporate and municipal bonds.
2. Invest in Bond Funds: If you want easy access to a wide range of bonds, then you can consider bond funds such as mutual funds or ETFs. They offer diversity and flexibility but do not provide steady interest like holding individual bonds.
3. Hire a Financial Advisor: A financial advisor can guide you, even if you do not know where to begin. In that manner, he can help you build up a bond portfolio tailored according to your goals and the risk tolerance level.
