In reply to Series I.

You pay a small penalty if you cash in before 5 years. I believe it’s 3 months of lost interest. There may be situations where that’s worth it.

If you anticipate paying educational expenses with them and you qualify by income, there are big advantages (the growth is tax free). https://www.treasurydirect.gov/savings-bonds/tax-information-ee-i-bonds/using-bonds-for-higher-education/
I bonds are an important part of our college savings for our kid, but we wouldn’t have them otherwise.

In reply to Anon. This is the whipped body cream. It’s indulgent. The kind of thing I open on my birthday and enjoy for a while.

In reply to jm. I like the Crème de Corps body crème, the whipped one, and one of my beard-sporting loved ones uses their beard oil. I also like the avocado eye cream.

In reply to jm. Not the OP, but I really love their Magic Hair Elixer as a once a week hair treatment.

Can someone explain Series I bonds to me like I’m 5. I bought 10k of these last year when the yield was high. I just checked and the current interest is 3.38%. I’ve held mine over a year. Should I redeem them and put this in my savings account (which earns 5%) or better yet, towards a line of credit I have at a variable rate that currently has an 8% interest rate? What’s the downside of redeeming them? Thanks!
