Too bad the government decided to "save money" by doing this. How much will they save when all people like me stop purchasing them?

Most employees enrolled in our payroll savings bond program will not trust electronic savings programs and will be forced to give up their only means of saving. It makes me feel very sad that our Government would do this to the average American worker. This is a disgrace. This is sad news for the American worker.

Increasing the limit to 10k electronic and/or linking future increases to inflation would certainly be nice, but I won't hold my breath. You can also take a peek at the FAQ.

This is only speculation of course, but coming from a $60k annual limit just a couple years ago to $5k with this goal, could the Treasury be considering just scrapping the savings bond program altogether?
