Pet Insurance New for 2010
Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI) provides health and accident insurance for cats, dogs, birds and a variety of exotic pets. In addition, pet insurance provides both protection for a pet and peace of mind for a pet owner.
Pet owners don’t want finances to get in the way of giving their pet the care it needs. VPI policies average $15 to $28 per month with a $50 deduction per incident. The cost varies by species, age and state. These policies cover a multitude of major medical conditions including cancer. Additionally, the pet owner is free to visit any licensed veterinarian worldwide.

Series EE Savings Bonds
Georgetown University sponsors a plan whereby you may purchase United States Series EE Savings Bonds. These bonds are Treasury Securities that earn interest at market rates for up to 30 years. The purchase price of a bond is 50% of its face amount. For example, a $100 bond costs $50.
There is a minimum holding period for savings bonds. Bonds purchased or issued on or after February 1, 2003 have a holding period of at least one year from the issue date. For bonds purchased or issued prior to February of 2003, the minimum holding period is six months from the issue date. You may redeem your bonds at any time after satisfying the minimum holding period requirements. However, if you cash a bond before 5 years, there is an interest penalty. A limit of $15,000 purchase price, per person, per calendar year, applies to EE Bonds. Click here for more information.
