I have a bond worth $12,000(10,000 face) and she has $12,000 in student loans from tuition from 2004.

What Should I Do With My Ee Series Savings Bonds?

Increase Savings — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:37:07 +0000

Most were issued 1993- 1995. The interest rates varies from 2.5 – 3.5 approx.
I paid college tuition and other expenses for my kids in college this year. I am wondering if I should cash in an amout that offsets those expenses and avoid the taxes.
It would seem I could do better with these funds in a money market account.
I would welcome any and all thoughts on this matter.
Thank You

How Can I Find Savings Bonds That Were Bought For Me?

Increase Savings — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 06:28:42 +0000

My Grandmother would always talk about buying us grandkids saving bonds for our birthdays. I think she was telling the truth, the problem is her six kids left behind (including my mom) when she died. I think someone stole them because I haven’t heard a word about it since, it’s been 3 years now. Is there a way to track a bond(s) in my name? Is it possible for my relative or mom to have cashed them themselves, or changed the name on them to my son’s name? basically, can you mess with those once they’re bought?
