My parents bought a lot of bonds in my name about the time I was born. The amount they paid for the bonds was $2,100. I cashed the bonds in today and they were worth $4,730.42
I added that to my savings.
They were all EE bonds so I had 12 years for some of them to mature still. But I needed the money to cover whatever scholarships don't for college, which will be billing me in just over a month.
I want to buy some more bonds at the end of this year but I know absolutely nothing about them. Time to go do some googling!
