US Treasury, you suck. You suck so hard, you should be working the street corners.

That is... special. Way, way special. o.O

Arrgh, I think the best part was how the woman at the teller window had no intention whatsoever of doing a gal a favor and maybe saying, "Hey, looks like these bonds aren't fully mature yet, you sure you want to cash 'em?" She was just going to let me walk out of there, none the wiser... ::makes throttling gestures::

There are no words. o.o

Actually, I've got several choice words right here, but probably not anything that wouldn't come off as anarchist, lol.

Hahaah, I don't know if I will end up saying "take-backsies" as part of my tirade, but I just may bond-slap someone. Come out from before your two inches of safety glass, I dare you. lolol

Hmm. Prawns, and these Thin Mint cookies sitting on my desk, staring at me impertinently, yes, perhaps you have a plan here... (Though, if I write in this mood, Hotson may be rough with Holmes, indeed! >:d)

*laughs* I love you on your tirades. ♥

But in all seriousness, what a crock! That just seems like a whole bunch of bullshit to me. :/

That's kind of like how the government took the 3500 my mom was supposed to get back on her tax refund, and then when she questioned it, what they said basically amounted to, "Well... because we're the government, that's why!" -__- Blagh. A whole buncha shit, that's what I have to say.

Utter, utter bullshit. My last savings bond was issued in 2000. So that means I'll finally be able to cash it once I'm 45. Wow, thanks Uncle Sam. >:/

Oh, oh, oh! And then you can put it towards your retirement, just in case!

/sarcasm

Are you serious?! They no longer mature in a reasonable amount of time?! I've given my toddler niece a couple of savings bonds, figuring they would not only have matured, but would have earned extra, by the time she graduates high school and goes off to college.

Screw this. I'll open her a 529 account instead.

soliandxpyne March 28 2010, 06:12:44 UTC

Yes, probably a good idea. Thirty years to mature is just...unbelievably ridiculous. >:(
