I'd be in New Zealand...or on the Medit. coast somewhere, swilling wine and reading books. And it's a darn shame EE & I-bond rates are so low--it's nice to have no taxation until redemption, which could be decades away. Amen traineeinvestor!

And it’s a darn shame EE & I-bond rates are so low–it’s nice to have no taxation until redemption, which could be decades away.

The politicians, civil servants and others who feed off the taxpayers only have themselves to blame. If it wasn't for the US being one of the few countries that tax their citizens who live overseas, you would be seeing a lot more people work or retire overseas to avoid the punitive taxes levied in the US.

Lack of funds, need for immediate gratification, etc. --those are other reasons for another day!

What I've been pondering in my mind over the last few weeks is why does debt exist in the first place? I plan to write about that one very soon.
