I started using this system for my children when they were born.
And each of them bough cars with money from Savings bonds.
I told friends and family NOT to buy them junk, to buy them Bonds!
16 Years later, each of them bought cars.
(not new cars, but cars) AND they each still have some to spare!

When I started selling on ebay back in 1997.
As a single mom, trying to make ends meet, I could never seem to save money.
Had a savings account and always seemed to DIG into it.

Then I started buying Savings Bonds!
Every time I went to the bank with my pile of Money orders and checks,
I would buy at LEAST one Bond!

Ebay is my full time job!
Ebay has been my career of choice!
I have been buying savings bonds so that I will have SOMTHING to fall back on someday!
Could be retirement, could be for an emergency, WHO KNOWS?
But at least I have something put away for myself!

Many people tell me how I could make so much more with my money if I would buy CD's or
put it in an IRA account, BUT my point is, I can not SAVE enough money and leave it alone
to even purchase anything like that.

If my kids need something, I would dig into my savings and use it.
Now at least I have STASHED some CASH for MY Future!

I want to encourage all Self-employed people selling on eBay to think about doing this too!

You MUST think about the future and TRY to do something!
