Savings bonds:

Does anyone know much about saving in general? I have a few saving bonds I just received, and I was just wondering if I should continue to allow them to mature, (varying rates around 4%) or cash them in and put them into my online savings account at 5%?

IMHO cash them and put them into some real investment account. The savings accounts can be easily beat with a little effort. Find a financial adviser/planner and you can do a lot of good stuff.

Yah thats what I’m leaning towards more so.
