Treasury notes and their maturity shorter than 10 years

Is it smart to invest in treasury notes that expire in less the ten years, or should I put this money in a bank on the same time period? I am not very smart when it comes to savings because I always prefer to spend money then anything else, but this time I decided to do something different for a change.

I think that you should go with the treasury notes no matter how long you will stick to them. I was always more secure if the state got my money hen no bank or other economic or business institution at all. This is why I was interested in bank rates and after a couple of months I got to a conclusion that although their rates are greater they are not stable at all and if you are thinking about time period that is measured by years then you should not be thinking about anything else but treasury notes. This would be final choice.
