US I bonds were at like 9 back in 2022.
I too would like to make 2024 investments at 2022 prices
Well, it fits.
I bonds have variable rates. If you buy an i bond at a certain rate it only keeps that rate for 6 months.
and 9% back in 2022 was about in line with inflation anyway.
Which is literally the point of I bonds. They match inflation exactly. That's why the rate is variable.
(I'm pretty sure you knew this, just explaining for other readers)
