In some cases (depending on your tax situation) other forms of bonds (municipal/state) may be better because of how or if they get taxed.


I did not deliberately overpay as an investment strategy :-).

Last time I looked, you needed to be in a higher tax bracket than I was to make Muni bonds worth it, in part because my state (WA) does not have income tax. Something like the 35% bracket.

And anyway, my investment strategy is not long bonds at this point in my life.
