Nobody I know is assuming 6% returns over the next two years! Hope I'm wrong.

6% is easy when treasuries yield 4.5. Nominally that’s 0 with inflation

I am very interested where I can get investment return 6%. The best I can see is CD from Schwab at 4.85%

Probably short term high yield bonds. You’ll need to assume more risk to get that extra 1-2%. CD and treasury is 0 risk so if you want more that you need to assume risk premium.

series I bonds yield almost 7%. Used to be above 9.5%.

That's limited to $10k per SSN per year. That's not viable for any material investment.
