What are some reasons why people should consider I Bonds?
I Bonds, or Individual savings bonds, also called Series I savings bonds, are savings bonds that are issued through the United States Department of Treasury. They are guaranteed to never lose value. I bonds are started with a 1 year minimum hold time, and the bond can not be released. They also have a penalty of three months of interest rate if they are redeemed before 5 years. After 5 years the penalty for redemption will end. In times of inflation the I bond will accrue interest. This interest can be earned for up to 30 years. When the bond is redeemed, let's say in 30 years, one will get the original amount invested and all of the interest accrued over the 30 years.

The tradition of giving someone a savings bond as a gift has largely disappeared since all purchases must now be done electronically. As of January 1, 2012, paper savings bonds are no longer issued by the U.S. Treasury although millions of Americans still hold previously issued paper savings bonds. Typically, a savings bond cannot be cashed in shortly after purchase. For example, a purchaser of the I or EE Savings Bonds must hold the bond for one year before being allowed to cash it in and an early redemption penalty applies if redeemed before 5 years.
