EQUITY Responds: WID Answers Your Questions
Q: My daughter and a friend are both soon to have their first child. I would like to give a gift which helps the child economically over their lifetime. I've heard that the I savings bond is a good way to pay for college, is this true, is it safe, are there any other advantages to this savings tool?
