You guys are amazing storytellers, as a recent migrant you guys have been truly helpful at understanding the different nuances of home economics. But now you’ve knocked it out of the park with this “bond” theme. Loved it!!
The puns in this video reached "oh god, mom and dad! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" level, but with the underlying tone of parents who actually genuinely care. I may have cringed, but I will be damned if I donʻt acknowledge the above and beyond amount of effort put into this video.
This is the best Two Cents video yet. Shocking. Positively shocking. It is punfully obvious how much hard work and preparation went into this. Pure Goldfinger.
Ah yes, that reminds me. After the bit about asking parents about money, I went ahead and asked my mom that. She told me she had a bunch of government bonds stashed away somewhere she no longer remembered (as one of the funds, not the only fund, fortunately). I told her we went to the bank together some 10 years before to cash those in already. Yes, she did not remember having cashed them in until I reminded her of that.
Ya'll had fun making this one. Great stuff guys. I thought I knew a good bit about bonds, but I still learned some things. Really fun, too. Except for the YOLT pun >:(
I love this channel so much! It's funny, cute, and chock full of financial knowledge. I have been buying into an index fund for many years on the advice of my relative, but didn't really know exactly what it was until you explained it in one of your videos.
I only knew what they were because my grandparents bought them for me when I was a kid. I just never knew how they work and that businesses utilize the bonds system.
Looove the video so much!! always waiting for the newest video from both of you :) i just start learning about personal finance, and i found the right yt channel
This is a great refresher for my intro to finance class during my spring break brain drain. I got reminded of coupon rates, present and future principal values, and most importantly, to do my homework. Thanks Two Cents!
😂😂 thumbs up just on the James Bond references😂😂 side note, besides Tom Selleck I think you have to be the only guy who looks good with a mustache lol.
I cashed some a while back that my mother had gotten me when I got laid off. Came in handy for a while. I didn’t think of it as a short term investment though. I will definitely look into this when I’ve saved up enough money.
The pun counter reminds me about that one Shouth Park show where they had a counter how often they said "shit" because it was no longer banned in TV (I think it was S05E01 _It Hits the Fan_ ). I think they said it about 200 times in ~20 minutes. So TwoCents' rate is higher than theirs. STONKS INCREASED!!
Loveeee that intro!!! & the entirw script 😃😃😃 P.S I need to watch the video again to concentrate on the valuable money advice u shared 😉 But lovedddd the whole thing!
I definitely prefer stocks over bonds because I'm younger and want to grow my wealth from “0 to Infinity” sooner rather than later 📈🚀Growth stocks and Dividend Income work for me!
Thank you so much for your videos! I’vve watched almost all of them, but this one really resonated with me the most. I’m currently an accountancy student and I’ve always been interested on investing on bonds cause the stock market makes me too anxious! One of my finance courses only covered this briefly, so I’m really thankful for clearing stuff up for me! Definitely gonna do more research hehe. I appreciate the puns btw!! Makes finance topics less daunting (even though I’m an accountancy student LOL)
Great video. I've been investing in CETES here in Mexico, but those are shorter term than bonds (more like t-bills) and that's because I'll need my savings within 2 years (and bonds are longer term) I wish you had gone more into how interest rate changes affect bond resale values.

Best episode yet! I loved the intro and the puns were top notch. I have some series EE bonds that I got from my grandparents that I'm going to put towards a down payment on a house. Keep up the great videos!
Now with the advent of bonds being electronic only, you buy savings bonds at face value and every month the interest is added to the bond and compounded twice a year, but since it's still a zero coupon bond you get the interest along with the principal either when you cash it in or when it matures after 30 years. Note: you can redeem saving bonds after one year but you will be penalized 3 months of interest if you don't wait 5 years.
Wow! 15 Bond puns in one video! That's got to be a new record! I strongly recommend regular investors buy bond index funds unless you have significant cash to buy multiple bonds.
I have a Q for you - how do bond principal and the disbursements change as interest rates go up and down. Would love to see a video on that. I know the bond price is inverse to interest rates but not sure about the payout
Today I learned there are a lot of James Bond movies that I haven't seen...
LOL 😂👍
Same!
Lmao 😂
same
From russia with love
30 seconds in and I see Pun-o-Meter - this gonna be good :D
EDIT: AND THAT INTRO! Amazing :)
Yep
The dad jokes exploded recently... I wonder why lol
This is obscenely cheesy to the point of being offensive but I do kind of adore it.
Mission accomplished.
@@TwoCentsPBS To be fair, to make a pun video not cheesy is sort of Mission: Impossible.
Okay Karen, let's all get offended about a Savings Bond video......
There were so many puns that I almost lost my...interest.
oooooohhhh nice one
That thumbnail is bananas 🤣 But that opening sequence was pretty epic!
I came for the knowledge, I stayed for the puns.
You guys are amazing storytellers, as a recent migrant you guys have been truly helpful at understanding the different nuances of home economics. But now you’ve knocked it out of the park with this “bond” theme. Loved it!!
I appreciate that the attempted accent only lasted 2 seconds lol
THIS IS THE BEST TWO CENTS VIDEO.
0:50 Oh man, that banana got me good. Haha. Almost fell off my chair.
I didn't notice it was a banana till you made me look again!! lol
It's a family show. No guns!
That intro definitely deserves a like!
The puns in this video reached "oh god, mom and dad! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" level, but with the underlying tone of parents who actually genuinely care.
I may have cringed, but I will be damned if I donʻt acknowledge the above and beyond amount of effort put into this video.
Now go brush your teeth and don't forget your lunchbox!
There should be a "bond" counter. 🤣
There is a pun counter, keep a Golden Eye on it
Holy crow. Phillip has that tuxedo refinement look to a tea. Stay classy, Two Cents.
I'm already dying at the thumbnail 🤣
Y'all were having WAY too much fun with puns, bond puns. AND I LOVED IT!
Favorite. Two. Cents. Video. EVER. And not just cause of the puns.
This is the best Two Cents video yet. Shocking. Positively shocking. It is punfully obvious how much hard work and preparation went into this. Pure Goldfinger.
This is so useful. I already owned bond funds but never really understood them. You make things so easy to understand.
Ah yes, that reminds me. After the bit about asking parents about money, I went ahead and asked my mom that. She told me she had a bunch of government bonds stashed away somewhere she no longer remembered (as one of the funds, not the only fund, fortunately). I told her we went to the bank together some 10 years before to cash those in already. Yes, she did not remember having cashed them in until I reminded her of that.
2Cents videos are always great, but this time it is the Best 2Cents video ever. Fun and educating tnx✌️
Came for the comments, was not disappointed.
Ya'll had fun making this one. Great stuff guys. I thought I knew a good bit about bonds, but I still learned some things. Really fun, too. Except for the YOLT pun >:(
Hahaha... awww. The YOLT was the only joke that made me LOL when I watched it after!
I love this channel so much! It's funny, cute, and chock full of financial knowledge. I have been buying into an index fund for many years on the advice of my relative, but didn't really know exactly what it was until you explained it in one of your videos.
LOVE IT! What a fun way to teach about bonds, savings bonds! Great job Two Cents!
Who else had no idea what a bond was before this video 😂
I didn't, but now I know that it's the name of a movie agent
I only knew what they were because my grandparents bought them for me when I was a kid. I just never knew how they work and that businesses utilize the bonds system.
Looove the video so much!!
always waiting for the newest video from both of you :)
i just start learning about personal finance, and i found the right yt channel
Yea boii. This is diff than the usual. Enjoyed it very much.. THANKSSSSS
This is a great refresher for my intro to finance class during my spring break brain drain. I got reminded of coupon rates, present and future principal values, and most importantly, to do my homework. Thanks Two Cents!
Had to chuckle. Using all the "Bond" movies in your dialogue. Love it!
😂😂 thumbs up just on the James Bond references😂😂 side note, besides Tom Selleck I think you have to be the only guy who looks good with a mustache lol.
How is this channel on no more popular? You guys are fun.
Great educational video on bonds! I'm sure to get some Goldfingers investing in bonds now!
I love the way you use bond references for this video. Well done~! And I've learned a thing or two about it.
Fun facts they ended bond reference in topics with very first bond movie "Dr.no"... Nice
How’s many times did they say “Bonds”
May Wong a savings amount of it lol 😂
Are you trying to start up a Two Cents drinking game?...
Alastor yes
More than two times. Guaranteed!
two times
I cashed some a while back that my mother had gotten me when I got laid off. Came in handy for a while. I didn’t think of it as a short term investment though. I will definitely look into this when I’ve saved up enough money.
Love the intro! It's so cute and original! Thank you so much for the excellent content as always!

Very entertaining! We'll used puns too. Keep up the great work!
The pun counter reminds me about that one Shouth Park show where they had a counter how often they said "shit" because it was no longer banned in TV (I think it was S05E01 _It Hits the Fan_ ). I think they said it about 200 times in ~20 minutes. So TwoCents' rate is higher than theirs. STONKS INCREASED!!
