Savannah is a great place for yr parents and sister to live, says I.

So, I've been looking into the whole SRI thing and it seems like a good idea. If I could put three or four hundred dollars a month into investments that average out to a 10-12 percent return, then I'll have a down payment on a house by the time I get out of college. I'm checking out ETFs (I don't feel like explaining it, and I doubt many people on this board care), and I've found an index-fund that tracks clean energy companies. Seems like a good balance between ethics and profit.

As for the whole savings bond thing... If you (or yr parents) HAD 40 dollars a week since you were born, you could put it in a money market account, and make twice that money or more by the time yr thirty. But 2000 a year is a lot to give yr child when you've got bills, retirement, etc. That's assuming yr not putting any money aside for college, etc.

Yeah, yeah...

Thanks for yr time.
