So today my mom has been cleaning out boxes that were in my Aunt's shed, in them she's found old photo albums, artwork from when we were children, and savings bonds. The last is what I am most excited about. I know money is not everything, but when you're broke it means a lot! I was so sure I had cashed in all my bonds when my dad made me do it when I was younger, but it turns out I hadn't! I have a bond from my birth year, 1987, the next year, 1988, and then 1995. I am also going to write to the address the Treasury website gave me to see if I have any I haven't cashed, but can't find. It looks like I'll finally be opening that bank account at Langley.
Of course the bonds don't mature fully for another 10-20 years, but I can't wait that long to cash them. Who knows what will happen in the mean time! I'm waiting till October to actually cash them because they're worth more then.
