I was rummaging thru a lot of legal documents my parents have (im 15) and i cam across these 2 savings bonds that i was givin when i was born one is for 75 dollaz

and th other is for a whopping 200

these 2 take 7 years to mature and they have been sittin there for 15 years .... i think that they both get 25 a year after the first 7 so i have 675 DOLLERS

im thinkin 100 of this will b for a couple Bit glorias ... to stretch to fit my zip and the rest of the 100 will b for alloys pullbacks extra zipz and im savin and then another 150 for the ZZ 2.0!!!

THANX G MA

I had a 75 one I had since I was born, cashed it in 23 years later, it was worth a whopping 136.00!!!

Savings bonds are over rated in my book....I mean, where else can you get something half price when you buy it, then take 7-10 years to double your money?.....

I once bought a house for 18,000. I put 400.00 worth of carpet in it, turned around and sold it for 29,900 before my first payment was due!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT, is wtf I am talkin bout!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to bust on savings bonds...cause in your case...Granny's generosity 15 years ago is funding your micro purchases today which is AWESOME, but, man, for real investments, highly overrated....

But spend it wisely, maybe build a track too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holla

Eazy E

Don't mean to be the dark cloud on this subject, though it is raining here in Pimp City. 1st off lil Pimp I don't wanna bust your bubble but didn't you say that you were rumaging? through your parents drawer? and found savings bonds from your grandma? that you're not suppose to know about? and you're just 15? You oughta know your parents are not gonna give you any of that bond money for Micro buying especially $100.00.
I think your grandma and parents had/have other things in mind for those bonds that will benefit you in a different way.
I could be wrong......but I doubt it!
If you do get sum of dat loot, spend it wisely, take your time & find the best deals (Da HookUp) lil Pimp, cause when it's gone, it's gone!
