Thanks for the information, appreciate it. We got a stack of EE bonds we bought through payroll deductions years ago when our kids we just born. At the time, they were guaranteed a floor of 6% for the life of the bond, so it was a pretty good deal. Stopped buying them when they stopped guaranteeing 6%. If we use them for educational expenses for our kids, they will be tax-free if our income is low enough. With the path our economy is on, too much income may not be an issue when our kids hit college <g>! Legacy Treasury Direct does off a WROS (with rights of survivorship) option for the accounts. So we both own some Tbills, haven't tried to buy any bonds with this as I currently like the high yields and short durations.
