I just bought my nephew a $10,000 savings bond. How long until I should get it in the mail? Will I get it before Christmas?

TIA

ps the savings bond actually purchased was nowhere near $10,000.

Just mail your nephew cash. He will appreciate that more.

He's not quite 5 months old. Instead of toys and stupid crap for his first few years on earth I'm giving him savings bonds for birthdays and Christmases.

I'm hoping that this $500 savings bond will buy him a week or two of college or VoTech when he's done with highschool.

Pretty thoughtful.....but it won't replace a good teething ring.

No, silly...

Some mail order brides come with a rebate.

was that a 'Yes, you bought it just in time to receive it before Christmas' or a 'No, you waited too long to buy it and it won't be there by Christmas'?

The college savings calculators say to have $150,000 to $200,000 saved for a 4 year degree at a public university:( .

Which, if you figure a school year is about 9 months and it's 150k a year, means that one week will cost ~$4200.:mad:

I'm thinking that the wife and I should have a second kid, and sell that one to pay for the first one. Kinda like PS3's.

I haven't seen Casino Royale yet, but I'm sure he lives. He lives in all the movies. Duh.

hmmm I took $150,000 divided by four = $37,500/year of college. divided that by 12 = $3125/month, multiplied that by 9= $28,125/ school year, divided that by 39 weeks in a school year and I come up with $721.15/week. Which is still crazy.
