Income investments limited

I have savings accounts and am drawing on them because my part-time work doesn't provide enough income. I would like to buy a stock, but the companies want me to keep investing. Would I do better to put my money in government bonds? Some banks won't let me take money out for 30 days. -- Mrs. M. C.

At your age (60) you cannot afford to lose your capital, but gaining more income is also important.
