Government investments are safe but have low reward/return.
IRA and if employer is offering 401k are the best tax savings plans that I have seen. With IRA you can choose your own portfolio and if you are looking for a combination of safety and return try this: diversify into three classes of investment; stocks, bonds and money markets. Proportionality will vary on the length and desired security. Good Luck.
