Treasury Bond Amount $75,000 Period 10 years Rate 3.52% (1 st June, 2009)*  A marketable, fixed-interest government debt security with a maturity of more than 10 years. Treasury bond make interest payment annualy and the income that holders receive is only taxed the federal level.

Financial Planning Advice  I will suggest Natasha as a Financial Planning to enroll in the Certificate Program based on her desire that she is not expect to lose any income during the certificate. Moreover, its impossible to implement this condition if she choose the MBA program unless she sell a fraction of her future earning from her treasury bond or she could barrow money from other recourses.
