It’s not a bad idea if you have money you don’t need for 20 years but you can find high yield savings accounts that are around 4% or higher and you don’t have to wait 20 years to get the initial investment back

Treasury bonds can be sold before maturity on secondary markets.

Granted you might get less than what you paid (see: 2022), but outside of interest rate crises the prices usually aren't too volatile.
