Ryan generously shares his expertise, demystifying how an uptick in interest rates can cause your previously attractive bonds to lose their luster, transforming a complex subject into an accessible insight that can guide your investment strategy and help maintain your financial health through market turbulence.

As we stroll through the landscape of personal finance, I'll walk you through a real-life example, taking you from the highs of a bond valued at $100,000 to the lows when its worth dips to $90,000 due to rising rates.
