Dang, i was able to lock in a few weeks ago. You are right tho. 6% is probably still better than anything else.

It’s not really. You can get 1 year treasuries at 4.7%, which is likely to be as much as or more than an I bond kept for 12 months after the penalty.

The rates update every May 1 and Nov 1 based on inflation. It's only better than anything in the short run. Won't be long before treasuries pay better and don't come with the penalties.
