    Thoughts on I Bonds. Buy now or wait for rate adjustment?

    That savings account rate is transient. Only a couple years ago, you would be hard pressed to find a rate better than 1%. That fixed rate on the I bond will remain for up to 30 years (in addition to whatever the variable rate will be). The biggest advantages over a money market is the tax...

    Thoughts on I Bonds. Buy now or wait for rate adjustment?

    MGMA question
