HAVE YOUR PARENTS’ U.S. TREASURY BONDS MATURED?
Many persons complain about the very low interest that money market accounts pay. While that is of concern, how many persons hold U.S. treasury bonds that have matured? Do they realize that these bonds, once they have matured, pay zero interest?
In addition to checking your own portfolio, be sure to check with your parents and other elderly family members who may be on a fixed income to make sure that they are not holding bonds that are not throwing off any income.
The U.S. Treasury has a Savings Bond Calculator on its website that calculates the final maturity date, reflects current interest rate being earned, the next accrual date for payment of interest, and year-to-date interest earned.
