That means if you invested in one of these, it would earn the same amount of interest as if it was hiding under your mattress." Your mattress has to be fireproof... and burglar proof. :) “One of the big headlines last week was in regards to the yield on 4-week treasury bills hitting 0%.

I'll update that. And yes, tax deferral is certainly another worthy consideration. Thanks for catching that.

A point of clarification on I-Bonds. You can actually purchase $10k per year, $5k online and $5k in paper bonds. Another very important advantage of I-Bonds over other Treasuries is that the interest is tax deferred. You don't pay any tax on accrued interest until you redeem the bond.
