I found a 25 year old savings bond today in my name. It was only a 50 dollar bond, apparently my parents got it with some proof of purchase mail ins to a diaper company when I was a baby.
Only 5 years away from full maturity, worth about 85 dollars right now.

I have saving bongs I won through art classes and stuff back in high school.
I don't think I ever get to actually cash them in...ever. Best way to reward people!

I never got a savings bong.

That's some amazing rate of return right there!

0$ to 85$ in 25 years not sure exactly what it'll be after the full 30. I'd try to find out what the rate of return on that investment is, but I'm afraid I'd create a black hole.
Government website says it's earning 4.00%

I was going off the whole "it's a $50 bond, and 25 years later it's worth $85!" bit. Injecting other facts (like how much your parents may have actually paid for it) kinda ruins the joke. You joke ruiner you!

Let's just hope that:
A. the United States doesn't go bankrupt before it matures.
B. You can still find it when its mature.
C. You can remember that you have it yet.
D. You survive till its mature.
I received a 25 dollar one from work last year. I have no clue where it's at now!

Why would anyone buy bonds not in bulk?
Just as Planned.

My Grandmother bought me some Premium Bonds when I was born. No clue where they are now.

You hadn't said that when I started typing my post and got distracted for a while before coming back to finish it, so there. 
Remember the old SimCity 2k where you started with no money but a 50k bond?
Tough times. But it all paid off when you got that llama tower.

I always felt Sim City needed Poopavision.

Holy crap, I just remembered that when hubby and I got married, I set up an allotment for his military pay to buy a bond every month and we continued that after he retired from the Navy. I need to check our Treasury Direct account and see what's in there.

You people seem to have missed the point of this thread. Tirrith wants help deciding what to spend the $85 on 5 years from now.
Donate. One day it could be your family.

I had a couple of $25 and $50 bonds given to me when I was a baby, I was disappointed when I cashed them out, I don't even remember what I bought with the money, I am sure it was something that either sucked or was drank away.
