Default Re: Patriot Bonds

Shoelaces,
Try using the US Treasury Savings Bond Wizard
http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/sav/savwizar.htm
You can manually enter the data from the Wizard into Money. That's what I
do.
Hope this helps.
-Kevin

Default Re: Patriot Bonds

Money does not know how to do this automatically and you'll need to schedule
the interest/dividends yourself. There are wizards, such as the "savings
bond wizard," which can help you figure the amounts.

Default Patriot Bonds

I have searched for "patriot bond" and "savings bond" and have turned up
little and what I found did not answer the questions I have.

I am using Money 2003 Deluxe. I am starting, yet again, and want to get
things in properly this time.

We have some Patriot Bonds and I am uncertain how best to deal with these.
Currently, I have an investment account with each bond listed within that.
Is that the best way to set these up?

If I purchase a $100 Patriot Bond today for $50 and the interest is 3.5%, I
know when the bond is done maturing (30 years). How does Money know when to
add interest into the account?
