Its survey of 1,500 Americans conducted during the summer of 2009 shows that many of us aren’t even saving for everyday emergencies, much less retirement.
Most of us have not even thought about how much [...]]]></description>

But then inflation fell to next to nothing, and rates on Series I Bonds plunged. 
Through April 30, they&#8217;re set at 0.74%, about the same annual yield you&#8217;d see from the average 24-month CD. 
That&#8217;s pretty weak. [...]]]></description>
