76<p>Fixed income investments come in many styles and sizes, but they tend to have many common characteristics.</p>
77
78<h2 class="subhead2">Fixed Income Investments Provide Income That Doesn't Go Up</h2>
79
80<p>That income is "fixed." It's static. It's not going to grow</p>
81
82<p>If you think I'm making that sound negative -- yeah, you're right.</p>
83
84<p>Don't get me wrong. They're perfect for many people. A good investor should know the investments for fixed income that're available to them.</p>
85
86<p>But frankly, the very term brings back unpleasant memories for me. In 1985 I was a telemarketer selling magazine subscriptions. Back in those days, we hand-called numbers from sheets torn from the Haines Criss-Cross Street Directory. </p> 
87
88<p>If we got a neighborhood full of nice young people, we made a lot of money that night. If we were given an apartment house full of senior citizens, we were in deep trouble.</p>
89
90<p>I wish I had a dollar for every elderly, quavering voice who told me . . . </p>
91
92<h2 class="subhead2">"I'm on a fixed income."</h2>
93
94
95<p>Most of them, I'm sure, meant Social Security. Some had private or government pensions. Some of the men maybe received Veterans Administration checks.</p>
96
97<p>Some of them probably got income from annuities or investments, but too small amount for them to consider buying a magazine subscription.</p>
98
99<p>They used to make me angry, since they were limiting my own income.</p>
100
101<h2 class="subhead2">Fixed Income is Better Than No Income -- Obviously -- but is Not Ideal</h2>
102
103
104<p>I wanted to scream at them, "Hey, everybody has a fixed income. If I had an infinitely large income do you think I'd be working this crummy part time job?"</p>
105
106<p>But sad, too. When you're retired, that means you stop working, but does it mean that your income should be "fixed?"</p>
107
108<p>Or if it is fixed, let's "fix" it at a level high enough for you to enjoy life. You should be able to buy things you enjoy on the spur of the moment.</p>
109
110<p>Here're some of the things you should understand regarding fixed income investments in general:</p>
