What's a safe long-term savings investment if (1) I'm concerned about inflation and/or the dollar getting weaker and (2) I'll only be investing a small amount, like $100 a month?

What I want is one bank account, with many sub-accounts, and automatic rules to move it around for me. Do any of the big banks offer this? [more inside]
