Also, how do you determine the current interest rates? Thanks. Just curious if you are still buying I Bonds? Also, how do you determine the current interest rates?

I hadn't thought about treating it like part of my retirement, but it makes PERFECT sense to be a fixed income component of my retirement plans. Much better than the stable value fund in my 401K - No state and local tax!!! EVER! I’ve had a treasurydirect account for about four years now.

I have just opened an account at treasurydirect.gov. I will use it as my car-replacement account. Our car is 4 years old now, and our plan is to replace it in 6 years. Instead of going into debt to replace it in 6 years, I will use the savings in this account to buy another car. When you get a car loan, you are paying interest to a bank; however, by planning the purchase 6 years in advance, we will earn interest. Thanks for the great article!
