i suppose there is no 401k where you work, else you would prolly be in it. but your employer can probably arrange to purchase a federal savings bond automatically for you. worse comes to worse, if your check is deposited automatically, set up an automatic transfer to a savings account.
the important thing is for you to never see the money.
i know you will feel better if you are doing something.

and i would say that this is a pretty constructive worry, which is a good thing.
