Treasury Bills 101: Crash Course for Cool Cats
Treasury Bills (T-Bills for short, because who wants a mouthful?) are basically low-risk IOUs from the government. You lend them money for a set period, and they pay you back with interest when it's all done and dusted. Think of it like giving your grandma a twenty for groceries, knowing you'll get it back (plus a little extra!) when she does her next shopping trip. Only instead of cookies, you get interest!
Here's the juicy part: T-Bills are considered safe because, well, it's the government! They're not exactly gonna skip town owing you cash (like that friend who borrowed your favorite scarf... still waiting on that, Mark!).
