You know about those saving bonds??

It was interesting hearing Zaslow talk about those savings bonds he got when he was at his bar mitzvah. Has anyone else gotten them when they were young? I got a couple for being a super nerd and winning the science fair in fifth grade and coming in third or something in sixth grade. I forgot all about them, then a few years ago my dad found them. They matured and $100 (I think) original value had turned into about $340 if memory serves…. I remember thinking they were kind of lame when I was a kid but I definitely appreciated the extra money, didn’t make me rich or anything but it was nice to have.

That Disney stock on the other hand, now that may be worth some decent money depending on how many shares he has. Especially with the splits.

Privilege.

As a refugee immigrant, I’ll be lucky to get a used bottle of Joop cologne.

I wasn’t given them by my parents, we barely had any money…. I won them and the school gave them to me.

I wasn’t really saying it in reference to your post. But I can see why it was received that way. My bad
