Question: Savings Bond Wizard software problem?

I have switched computers from an XP to Windows 7 version. I use a Savings Bond Wizard software program from the US Treasury. When I switched computers and downloaded the newest version of the software, it will not let me see my file from my old computer. It is opening the file because I can get a print preview of it, but I can’t see anything when I go to use the other features. I have emailed them, thinking it is an issue with Windows 7? This is a very popular program and I can’t find any fix for it. Any help would be appreciated. Here is a link where the software is available: https://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/tools/tools_savingsbondwizard.htm

Answer: I know what I would try. If you can still use your old computer, I would load the new wizard on there and update my file before trying to open it in the new computer. I would also try starting a new inventory on the new machine to make sure the wizard is functioning properly. If not, uninstall and reinstall the wizard program, perhaps going back and downloading it again. I use the wizard, but I have never used Windows 7, but those are the things I would try.

Question: United States Savings Bonds?

My parents had gotten like 10 Savings Bonds for their god child. Well these Savings Bonds were to be sent to my parents, because it was under theirs and the god childs name. Then we would send it to the god child. These savings bond would be sent to us like once every month or so. well we ended up giving the god child about 7 of the 10. they moved and we had the three. Well we have been going through a little financial trouble and we wanted to cash in the 3 Savings Bonds that we had. the thing is we lost them. Is there anyway we can get them back without affecting the 7 that our god child has. I know the government has a website for it and i requested a form i just wanted to know if we could cash just 3 without taking our god childs 7?

Answer: Yes the website that you need to visit is www.treasurydirect.gov. If you click on the link to “contact” you should find some phone numbers and emails.

Call the people at the treasury department. They will have records of your ownership of the Savings Bonds in electronic form. You should have no problem locating and selling your treasury bonds. I’m not sure if they will need to transfer the bonds (electronically) to a brokerage firm or not. I know you can buy treasuries directly from treasurydirect.com. But in order to sell them again you will probably have to sell them on the open market. You will need a Broker-Dealer to handle that transaction.

Good Luck!

Question: What kind of future does the younger generation of working US citizens really have with this kind of governme?

What can the younger generation of working US citizens do about the severe risks to their future? I invest money in the stock market but it has only gone down. I invest money in bonds and savings accounts but the small gains do not keep up with inflation (it costs more to buy everything and the actual dollars lose their value as well). I am told not to count on there being much Social Security when I retire. How can I build a future for myself if my investments and savings continue to lose value due to a greedy and irresponsible government?

Answer: Indentured slavery! You must take over rule & control directly starting with money & gov’t! Legally end Republic of’by/for the Fascist Few/Representative Gov’t! Replace with a True direct consensus Democracy that has verification/proof/validation! Make all levels of Gov’t well managed fire at will employee’s! Many will try denying this state of Fascism but it’s real and long been in place.
