Tax Free Investing

We all know how dismal earning rates currently are for Certificates of Deposit and other investments.  Anita Bowman-McCormick of Edwards Jones enlightened us on the use of Tax-Free Investing to build your financial accounts.  It's not what you make, it's what you keep.   There are three primary ways to earn tax-free income:  Municipal Bonds, Retirement Accounts and Life Insurance.  Tax-Free Investing definitely deserves a spot in your portfolio.  See the Tax-Free Yield chart to compare tax-free equivalent yields.  Example:  an investment in a tax-free bond earning 3% would be equal to a taxable account earning 4% because you would then have to pay taxes on the taxable earnings.  If you would like further information on this investment approach, feel free to contact Anita directly.
