I dont understand the concept of a savings bond. I was given $100 to buy a bond for my daughter. I know I could either get one in the bank or online directly from the US Treasury. But how much could this bond be worth in 17 years? Would it be substantial? I did the calculator feature on the website and it said at a 2% interest it would increase $46 in 10 years. Is that it? I thought it would be more. Also what is the difference between type 1 and type ee? Thanks in advance!
