I should have offered a bit more. I would still keep an emergency reserve in cash... but additional money could be diverted to Ibonds...sort of a two-pronged emergency Fund (EF). In the past, with a full EF, it pretty much just sat there, and we did everything we could with cash on hand not to hit the EF anyway.
