OT After listening to different pundits I think that I have to prepare for a future where annual decline of dollar purchasing power ( inflation) is likely 7-7 .5% a year since the cola increase for social security will likly not be higher than 3%. that is 4-4.5 % spread that has to be made up. And as not to be confusing the bottom line is that that spread happens every year so if you run a table- over 10 year under the best of circumstances you social security will have lost 1/3 of its purchasing power, that of course will also be true of most annuities.

My conclusion is that it seems almost fool hardy to have any money in bonds that pay less than 7.5% so I may be cashing out my i bonds a lot sooner than I thought
