Going off of the proud parent thread

After 30 years, EE's are their face value. I wouldn't mess with government bonds for something you basically need to function as growth, it's not gonna happen with those bonds. Do they have an option for high yielding corporate bonds? They pay much higher returns and as long as the fund carries many corporate bonds and not piled into one company, the risk should be relatively low.

ill probably use that bond for her education in 18 years, like I said it is only one.

[CLTPanther]

Use another state then, it's perfectly fine. The NC 529 has a lot more options.

[The Saltman]

nevermind it needs to mature for 20 years before I get face value. The GA 529 is fine for what I need. whats the difference?

[CLTPanther]

You have more options is the difference. Flexibility is your friend, in women and investing.

[The Saltman]

ill look into it

Sign up everyone, your bothers, sisters, parents, grandparents for Upromise for your child/children. (Have them register all their MVP, VIC, CVS cards, etc.) It may only build a few hundred dollars a year, for a college 529 plan. It's more than nothing and it's free!
